According to Sumeet Bagadia, Executive Director at Choice Broking, the formation of a Dragonfly Doji candlestick pattern on the daily timeframe indicates strong buying support emerging from lower levels after an initial phase of weakness. The long lower shadow reflects rejection of lower levels and suggests that buyers actively defended the lower support zone during the session.
