A three-bar pattern for reading potential reversals.
Morning star (potential bullish reversal)
- A large bearish candle (the downtrend is still strong).
- A small candle / doji (indecision, momentum stalls).
- A large bullish candle that closes deep into the body of the first candle.
Evening star (potential bearish reversal)
The opposite: large bullish → small candle → large bearish that closes inside the body of the first candle.
Context
Most meaningful at the end of an extended trend and right at a support/resistance area. In the middle of a range, its impact is small.
Key points
- Pattern structure: dominance → pause → takeover.
- It needs the right location to be worth trading.
