it does not require the support of indicators. candlesticks can be a standalone indicator in itself. In the same light, false breaks can be avoided even without those mentioned indicators.I believe that the technique of candlesticks requires the support of the indicators. Very often false breaks could be avoided by a careful analysis of RSI, ADX, moving averages, etc.
Having said that, I use indicators and I can say that they can help.... so I partially agree with you.
