evening star

Three candles after a rise: a big green one, a small one, then a big red one, like the sun setting on the climb.

The fuller meaning

A three-candle bearish reversal pattern after a rise: a long green candle, a small-bodied star, then a long red candle closing past the midpoint of the first body. In stocks the star often gaps away; in 24-hour markets gaps are rare, so the small middle body is what matters. It needs a lower close for confirmation.
