Morning Doji Star Pattern
The Morning Doji Star is a bullish reversal candlestick pattern that typically appears at the bottom of a downtrend. This pattern consists of three candlesticks and indicates a potential shift in market sentiment from bearish to bullish. The Morning Doji Star signifies indecision in the market, followed by buying pressure.
Characteristics of the Morning Doji Star Pattern:
-
Formation: The pattern consists of three candlesticks:
- First Candle: A long bearish (red or black) candlestick that reflects strong selling pressure.
- Second Candle: A Doji candlestick that opens lower than the first candle’s close, indicating indecision in the market. The Doji can be a traditional Doji or a Dragonfly Doji, but it must have a small body with long shadows.
- Third Candle: A long bullish (green or white) candlestick that opens above the second candle’s open and closes well above the second candle’s body, confirming the bullish reversal.
-
Location: The Morning Doji Star typically occurs after a downtrend, signaling that the selling momentum may be weakening and that buyers could be gaining control.
-
Signal: This pattern indicates that after a period of bearish sentiment (the first candle), the market experiences indecision (the Doji), and finally, strong buying pressure (the third candle) confirms a potential reversal.
