What the shooting star is
After a rise, buyers pushed up and sellers slammed it back down.
A firework shoots high into the sky, sparkles, and then falls back down. A shooting star candle is like that: after a rise, price shot up during the candle, then sellers pushed it back down near where it started. The long top wick is the trail it left behind.
