What the morning star is
A big fall, a pause, then a strong rise. The night is ending.
Think of the night, then the quiet grey of dawn, then the sun rising. A morning star is three candles like that: a big red candle, a tiny pause candle, then a strong green candle. The dark part of the chart might be ending.
