Shooting Star - Complete GuideWhat is the Shooting Star candlestick pattern? A shooting star candlestick pattern is a chart formation that occurs when an asset’s market price is pushed up quite significantly, but then rejected and closed near the open price. This creates a long upper wick, a small lower wick and a small body. The upper wick must take up at least half of the length of the candlestick for it to be considered a shooting star. And, it must appear at the top of an uptrend. As a result, the shooting star candlestick pattern is often thought to be a possible signal of bearish reversal. This means an uptrend might not continue (prices may fall). Traders should be careful not to confuse the shooting star pattern with an inverted hammer candlestick pattern. They both have a longer upper wick and small body. But the inverted hammer indicates bullish as opposed to bearish reversal. Also, the inverted hammer is often seen at the bottom of a downtrend. How to recognize it: i) Little to no lower shadow ii) The price closes at the bottom ¼ of the range iii) The upper shadow is about 2 or 3 times the length of the body What does Shooting Star tells you ? i) Shooting stars signals a potential downside reversal ii)A shooting star opens and rises strongly during the trading session, showing the same buying pressure that is seen over the last trading sessions. At the end of the trading session, the sellers push the price down near the open. or At the buying climax, huge selling pressure stepped in and pushed price lower. The selling pressure is so strong that it closed below the opening price. In short, a Shooting Star is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern that shows rejection of higher price.

Moods of Candlesticks 🎚How do you read a candle? The top or bottom of the candle body will indicate the open price, depending on whether the asset moves higher or lower during the selected timeframe. If the price trends up, the candlestick is often either green or white and the open price is at the bottom. viceversa if price trends down. Why Candlestick is important? They indicate market turning points early and estimate the direction of the market. Overall, Candlesticks provide unique insights. They display reversal patterns which cannot be seen in other types of charts. They can be used in all kinds of markets. Detailed Explanation :- Real Bodies Each candlestick is composed of a real body and two wicks (which are also called shadows or tails). The real body is the substantial part of the candle. It reflects the difference between the open and close price for that period. The open and close prices are the first and last transaction prices for that time period. When there is no real body or the real body is very small, it means the open and close prices were the same or almost the same. The real bodies are typically one solid color, though they may also be hollow, with only their edges displaying a color. Their coloring depends in part on the color scheme used by your charting platform, but white/black and green/red are commonly utilized. A white or green candle means the price finished higher over that time period. Because the closing price is higher than the open price, the bottom of the real body represents the open price and the top of the real body represents the close price. A black or red candle means the price finished lower over that time period. Therefore, the top of the real body is the open price and the bottom of the real body is the close price for that time period.​ Wicks or Shadows The wicks or shadows—the thin lines above and below the real body—represent the movements above and below the open and close prices. The highest part of the wick on top of the real body marks the high price for that period. If there is no upper wick, then the top of the real body was also the highest price during that period. The lowest part of the wick on the bottom of the real body marks the low price for that period. If there is no lower wick, then the bottom of the real body was also the lowest price during that period. The difference between the high and low prices is the price range for the period.
