If you saw a monthly candle with these values:
O: 1.2000
H:1.3150
L: 1.1850
C: 1.3000
At first sight you would have a bullish candle with tiny upper and lower wicks and a big body (A range of 1300 pips and a body of 1000 pips).
But that single candle could be telling many stories at the same time:
A: Right after the open it had a bullish rally for two weeks, then retraced heavily to the bottom and resume up again
B: It retraced down 150 pips after the Open, then started to build an ABCD pattern right to the top, where it finally retraced
C:etc, etc
For those trading monthly candles, the supply and demand - order flow - inside that candle would had been irrelevant. They only care how that candle is relative to the overall structure they have.
So, there is a structure of the market...
