Shooting Star
The Shooting Star is a candlestick pattern that looks like a shooting star.
It's a bearish signal that shows up during an uptrend, hinting that the price might be about to go down.
What to Look For:
- Small Body: The main part of the candle is tiny.
- Long "Tail" Upwards: It has a long upper shadow (the "tail" pointing up), showing buyers tried to push the price much higher.
- Little to No "Tail" Downwards: Very little or no lower shadow.
- Happens in an Uptrend: This pattern is only important when the price has been rising.
- What it Means: Even though buyers pushed the price up, sellers aggressively took control and pushed the price back down to close near the open. It's a sign that the buyers are losing their power.
- Needs Confirmation: This is a warning, not a guaranteed reversal. You need to see the next candle confirm the downward move (like a strong red candle) before acting.
