Evening Star
A three-candle reversal pattern at a top: a big up candle, a small candle, then a big down candle.
In plain English
A three-candle reversal pattern at a top: a big up candle, a small candle, then a big down candle.
An evening star appears after a rise. A tall up candle, then a small-bodied candle (the 'star') that shows hesitation, then a tall down candle that closes well into the first candle's body.
The name comes from Venus, visible just before darkness, a sign the day is ending. Its bullish mirror is the morning star.
