Inside Bar Indicator

An inside candle (inside bar) is a candlestick pattern where the current candle’s high and low stay completely within the previous candle’s range, indicating low volatility and market consolidation. 

It signals a temporary pause where buyers and sellers are balanced, often leading to a strong breakout when price moves above or below the mother candle. 

Traders use it mainly for breakout and trend continuation setups, especially when combined with tools like VWAP, volume, or delta for confirmation.
