# Complete 1-Candle Patterns

Based on the core definitions, here are all the possible configurations for a single 1-candle pattern (Bullish and Bearish).

## Bullish Patterns (C > O)

### Bull_1
- **Definition**: High > Close > Open > Low. A standard bullish candle with both an upper and lower shadow (wick).
- **Logic**:
  ```text
  H > C & O & L
  C > O & L
  O > L
  ```

### Bull_2
- **Definition**: Close = High > Open > Low. A bullish candle that closes precisely at its highest price, indicating strong upward momentum into the close (no upper wick).
- **Logic**:
  ```text
  (C = H) > O & L
  C > O & L
  O > L
  ```

### Bull_3
- **Definition**: High > Close > Open = Low. A bullish candle that opened at its absolute lowest point, showing buyers dominated continually from the very beginning (no lower wick).
- **Logic**:
  ```text
  H > C & O & L
  C > O & L
  O = L
  ```

### Bull_4
- **Definition**: (Close = High) > (Open = Low). A perfectly strong "Marubozu" bullish candle that opened at its low and closed perfectly at its high, without wicks.
- **Logic**:
  ```text
  (C = H) > O & L
  C > O & L
  O = L
  ```

---

## Bearish Patterns (C < O)

### Bear_1
- **Definition**: High > Open > Close > Low. A standard bearish candle where the price varied heavily but ended below where it opened.
- **Logic**:
  ```text
  L < C & O & H
  C < O & H
  O < H
  ```

### Bear_2
- **Definition**: High > Open > Close = Low. A bearish candle that closes exactly at its lowest point, showing selling pressure all the way through the end of the session (no lower wick).
- **Logic**:
  ```text
  (C = L) < O & H
  C < O & H
  O < H
  ```

### Bear_3
- **Definition**: High = Open > Close > Low. A bearish candle that opens precisely at its high, suggesting selling pressure began instantly, producing no upper wick.
- **Logic**:
  ```text
  L < C & O & H
  C < O & H
  O = H
  ```

### Bear_4
- **Definition**: (Open = High) > (Close = Low). A perfectly strong bearish "Marubozu" candle opening at its absolute high and closing at its absolute low, showing maximal bearish momentum and no wicks.
- **Logic**:
  ```text
  (C = L) < O & H
  C < O & H
  O = H
  ```
