Morning Star
Long red candle → small-bodied candle (often gapping down) → long green candle that closes deep into the first body.

After the downtrend, the pattern appears and price reverses higher.

Bullish reversal at the end of a downtrend.
The psychology behind it
Day 1: bears in control. Day 2: indecision (pause). Day 3: bulls take over and reverse the bear move. Sentiment flipped over three sessions.
Like every candlestick pattern, the Morning Star is a probabilistic signal — not a guarantee. The strongest setups appear at clear support / resistance levels, with a directional bias from higher timeframes, and ideally with volume confirmation. Always combine candlestick reads with structure and trend context.
