Pattern Evening Star

Evening Star is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern consisting of three candles that forms in an uptrend. This pattern shows a transition from bullish to bearish sentiment through a period of uncertainty or consolidation.

Key Features:
  • First candle is white (bullish) with opening price lower than closing price (O < C).
  • Second candle has a small body (can be either bullish or bearish) and forms a gap up from the first candle. The body is significantly smaller than the first candle's body (B < pB * 0.5m).
  • Third candle is black (bearish) with opening price higher than closing price and a large body ((O > C) && (B > pB * 2)), which closes deep inside the body of the first candle.
  • Forms in an uptrend.

Evening Star Pattern

Interpretation

Evening Star is considered a strong signal of a potential reversal of an uptrend:

  • The first candle confirms the strength of the bullish trend.
  • The second candle (star) shows weakening of bullish pressure and uncertainty in the market.
  • The third candle demonstrates the return of sellers and a shift in control from bulls to bears.
  • The deeper the third candle penetrates into the body of the first candle, the stronger the reversal signal.
  • If the second candle is a doji (with a very small body), the pattern is called "Evening Doji Star" and is considered an even stronger signal.

Trading Strategies

Evening Star provides good opportunities for entering a short position:

  • Enter a short position after the pattern formation, usually at the opening of the fourth candle or when the low of the third candle breaks.
  • Place a stop-loss above the high of the second candle or the high of the entire pattern.
  • Target profit can be set based on Fibonacci levels relative to the previous upward movement or previous support levels.
  • Pay attention to volume - increasing volume on the third candle confirms the strength of the bearish reversal.
  • Combine with other technical indicators, such as RSI in the overbought zone or resistance lines, to increase the reliability of the signal.
  • Can also be used as a signal to exit existing long positions.
