Evening star

The evening star is a three-candle bearish reversal pattern that typically forms at the top of an uptrend, signaling a potential shift from bullish to bearish momentum. The first candle is a strong bullish (green) candle showing continued buying pressure, followed by a small-bodied candle (which can be bullish or bearish) that represents indecision or slowing momentum. The third candle is a strong bearish (red) candle that closes well into the body of the first candle, confirming sellers have taken control. This combination indicates that the prior uptrend is losing strength and a potential downtrend or correction may begin, making it a reliable warning of bearish reversal when supported by high volume or resistance levels.
