What the evening star is
A big rise, a pause, then a strong fall. The day is ending.
Think of a bright day, then the quiet of sunset, then the dark of night. An evening star is three candles like that: a big green candle, a tiny pause candle, then a strong red candle. The bright part of the chart might be ending.
