What the Tool Measures
Calculation Factors
| Factor | Role in the reading |
|---|---|
| Price and VWAP | Provides context on whether price is above or below the session’s volume-weighted reference. |
| EMA 9 and EMA 20 | Checks short-term momentum and moving-average alignment. |
| Recent candle structure | Reviews body direction, wick rejection and the last few closes. |
| Volume and RSI | Adds participation and momentum context when valid values are available. |
| Data freshness | Suppresses the score when the latest candle is missing or outside the permitted age. |
How to Read the Result
The direction label describes the current short-timeframe conditions; it does not predict a fixed future move. Confidence reflects how many available factors agree with one another.
Compare the 3-minute and 5-minute views and check the update time. Mixed timeframes can indicate a transition or a noisy session rather than a clear direction.
When verified data is unavailable, the score and confidence are replaced with a dash. This prevents an API failure from appearing as a current neutral or directional signal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which timeframes are reviewed?
The page focuses on 3-minute and 5-minute candles. A 3-minute series may be aggregated from verified 1-minute data when supported.
Can the reading change quickly?
Yes. Short-timeframe conditions can change as new candles form. Always check the displayed source time.
What happens after an API failure?
The plugin preserves the previous record for diagnostics but does not label it as a new live result. A stale-data notice is shown instead.

The tool above compares verified short-timeframe candles and reports a bias only when the required data passes freshness and completeness checks.
Bias describes recent behaviour
A positive candle bias means the recent sequence currently leans stronger; a negative bias means weakness is more visible in the available sample. Neither label promises continuation. The next few candles can reverse the pattern, especially when the reading is based on a small window.
Look beyond candle colour. The location of closes, the size of bodies and wicks, and whether momentum is improving or fading can be more informative than counting green and red candles.
Compare multiple timeframes carefully
A 3-minute view can change before a 5-minute view confirms it. Temporary disagreement is normal and can signal a transition rather than an error. Wait for the slower timeframe to update if you need a more stable reading, and compare the result with the wider Market Sentiment Dashboard or the index-specific Nifty Market View and Bank Nifty Market View pages.
Do not force a signal from missing candles
When the API returns an incomplete sequence, an unsupported interval or a stale timestamp, the responsible output is “unavailable.” The plugin builds supported intervals from verified source data and avoids turning empty values into a neutral score. This makes the page less dramatic, but more honest about what the data can support.
Frequently asked questions
Why do 3-minute and 5-minute signals differ?
They summarise different windows. The shorter interval reacts faster, while the longer interval may filter some of that noise.
Is candle bias the same as a price prediction?
No. It is a description of recent verified price behaviour, not a guaranteed statement about the next move.
Why is the score withheld?
The required candle sequence may be stale or incomplete. Withholding the score prevents a false signal.
