Morning Star
Also known as: Morning Star Pattern
Three candles: large red, a small candle (the star) gapping down, a large green. A strong bullish reversal pattern at the end of a downtrend.
What it looks like
First the falling red candle, then the small star candle (indecision), then a green candle closing deep into the red body.
What it means
Selling pressure → stalemate → buyers take over. The classic three-act of a bottoming process.
How it is traded
Long entry at the close of the third candle; stop below the star candle's low.
Where & when, plus the limits
One of the more reliable reversal patterns, especially at support. The bearish counterpart is the Evening Star.
