Evening Doji Star Pattern

The Evening Doji Star is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern that typically appears at the top of an uptrend. This pattern consists of three candlesticks and indicates a potential shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish. The Evening Doji Star signifies indecision in the market, followed by selling pressure.

Characteristics of the Evening Doji Star Pattern:

  1. Formation: The pattern consists of three candlesticks:

    • First Candle: A long bullish (green or white) candlestick that reflects strong buying pressure.
    • Second Candle: A Doji candlestick that opens higher than the first candle’s close, indicating indecision in the market. The Doji can be either a traditional Doji or a Dragonfly Doji, but it must have a small body with long shadows.
    • Third Candle: A long bearish (red or black) candlestick that opens below the second candle’s open and closes well below the second candle’s body, confirming the bearish reversal.
  2. Location: The Evening Doji Star typically occurs after a significant uptrend, signaling that the upward momentum may be weakening and that sellers could be gaining control.

  3. Signal: This pattern indicates that after a period of bullish sentiment (the first candle), the market experiences indecision (the Doji), and finally, strong selling pressure (the third candle) confirms a potential reversal.
