Evening Star Candlestick Pattern www.financial-s... PLEASE LIKE AND SHARE THIS VIDEO SO WE CAN DO MORE We continue reviewing reversal candlestick patterns. One of the pattern forms is the ‘star’ which comes in various guises. The principle behind the star is that it is gapped from the candles either side, which is what makes it look like a star in the heavens - at least for the bearish reversal of an uptrend. Here is the basic Evening Star.
The star candle, in the middle, can be either color, so I’ve shown it as green.
The first candle is strongly in trend with a long green day, and the second day opens with a gap - this is a necessary part of the pattern, and starts the star formation. But the second day proves to be indecisive, and the third day gaps down and continues down. You can see that the first gap isn’t a strong sign, but an exhaustion gap. Some people don’t require a gap down to call the pattern valid, and others insist that the third candle closes more than halfway down the first candle’s body, as shown.
Variations on the Evening Star include the Evening Doji Star, with a Doji in the centre, which is a stronger reversal pattern. The Bearish Abandoned Baby is a special case of this where the Doji is totally gapped away from the surrounding candles including their shadows - it’s rare to get this extreme. It’s also possible, though very rare, to get a Bearish Tri Star, where all three candles are Doji. If you see this, it’s a good idea to check the trading volumes to make sure that the pattern is not some mistake.
Bullish patterns are the reverse of the bearish ones, and include the Morning Star which is a bottom reversal at the end of a downtrend, corresponding to the Evening Star. Others equivalent to the bearish patterns are the Morning Doji Star, the Bullish Abandoned Baby, and the Bullish Tri Star. These last are rare, so you just need to concentrate on the main Star formations.
