Evening Star: Bullish Candle Bearish Candle

The Evening Star pattern is a bearish candlestick reversal pattern that typically occurs at the top of an uptrend. It consists of three candles: a long bullish candle, followed by a small bullish or bearish candle showing indecision, and then a long bearish candle that erases the gains of the first candle. This signals a potential trend reversal as bullish momentum has dissipated.

Evening Star

The Evening Star Pattern is a bearish reversal pattern, usually occuring at the top of an
uptrend. The pattern consists of three candlesticks:
 Large Bullish Candle (Day 1)
 Small Bullish or Bearish Candle (Day 2)
 Large Bearish Candle (Day 3)

The first part of an Evening Star reversal pattern is a large bullish green candle. On the
first day, bulls are definitely in charge, usually new highs were made.

The second day begins with a bullish gap up. It is clear from the opening of Day 2 that
bulls are in control. However, bulls do not push prices much higher. The candlestick on
Day 2 is quite small and can be bullish, bearish, or neutral (i.e. Doji).

Generally speaking, a bearish candle on Day 2 is a stronger sign of an impending


reversal. But it is Day 3 that is the most significant candlestick.

Day 3 begins with a gap down, (a bearish signal) and bears are able to press prices even
further downward, often eliminating the gains seen on Day 1.

The chart below of Exxon-Mobil (XOM) stock shows an example a Evening Star bearish
reversal pattern that occured at the end of an uptrend:
Day 1 of the Evening Star pattern for Exxon-Mobil (XOM) stock above was a strong
bullish candle, in fact it was so strong that the close was the same as the high (very
bullish sign). Day 2 continued Day 1's bullish sentiment by gapping up. However, Day 2
was a Doji, which is a candlestick signifying indecision. Bulls were unable to continue
the large rally of the previous day; they were only able to close slightly higher than the
open.

Day 3 began with a bearish gap down. In fact, bears took hold of Exxon-Mobil stock the
entire day, the open was the same as the high and the close was the same as the low (a
sign of very bearish sentiment). Also, Day 3 powerfully broke below the upward
trendline that had served as support for XOM for the past week. Both the trendline break
and the classic Evening Star pattern gave traders a signal to sell short Exxon-Mobil stock.

The Evening Star pattern is a very powerful three candlestick bearish reversal pattern.
The bullish equivalent of the Evening Star is the Morning Star pattern (see: Morning
Star).
