A rising window is a bullish continuation signal that shows strong demand and a shift in market sentiment. It forms when a candle opens above the previous candle’s high, leaving a visible gap. In forex, this usually appears during volatile sessions, but the idea is the same across markets. It tells you buyers are in control and willing to pay higher prices without waiting for a pullback.

To trade it, start by confirming the overall trend. A rising window works best in an established uptrend where momentum is already building. Once the gap forms, avoid chasing the first candle. Many traders wait for a small retracement toward the gap zone. If the price respects this zone rather than closing the gap, it often becomes a support area where buyers step back in.

A common entry method is placing a buy order near the upper part of the gap once you see signs that the pullback is slowing. Candles with long lower wicks, small real bodies, or a new bullish candle can hint that demand is returning. Your stop can sit below the lower edge of the gap because a close below that level weakens the pattern.

Targets can be set using recent swing highs or by trailing your stop under higher lows as the trend continues. The key is patience. Let the market confirm that the gap is holding as support before committing.
