Evening Star
An Evening Star is a three-candle bearish reversal pattern: a long bullish candle, a small-bodied candle that gaps higher, and a long bearish candle that closes well into the first candle's body.
The mirror image of a Morning Star — strong buying, a pause where buyers lose control, then sellers taking over decisively, making it one of the more dependable top-reversal setups.
- Candle 1: long bullish candle continuing the uptrend.
- Candle 2: small body (the 'star'), gapping up from candle 1 — shows indecision.
- Candle 3: long bearish candle closing below the midpoint of candle 1's body.
- Entry is commonly taken on the close of the third candle or on a pullback afterward.
- Stop-loss is typically placed above the high of the star (middle) candle.
