Candlestick pattern: Shooting star
Updated
Shooting Star is a bearish candlestick reversal pattern. It signifies the end of an uptrend and the potential start of a downtrend. Its opposite is the Morning Star.
When analyzing this pattern, we should observe if the confirming candle closes within the lower third of the range formed. This condition acts as a filter when deciding whether to initiate a trade or not.
This filter makes sense because a stronger confirming candle indicates greater rejection of the uptrend continuation, thus increasing the likelihood of the pattern's success and the formation of a new downtrend.
On the other hand, if the confirming candle does not close below two-thirds of the range formed, it could indicate weakness in the direction of the trend and decrease the probability of the start of a new downtrend.
