What Exactly Is a Morning Star Candlestick Pattern?
A morning star pattern is a type of price candlestick pattern found on a stock chart.
Stock charts show how a stock's price has changed over time, and that price activity can be conveyed in different ways. One of those ways is with price candlesticks, or price candles, which are also sometimes referred to as price bars.
Each price candle represents a pre-specified period of time, such as one day or one hour. Candles give information that might be pertinent to an investor, including the open price, close price, high price, and low price of the period.
A morning star candlestick pattern consists of three candles:
- First candle - The first candle is typically a long red candle, indicating selling pressure where the closing price is lower than the opening price.
- Second candle - This candle is typically relatively short and can be either red or green. Its body is small compared to the first candle, and it often gaps down from the close of the first candle. This candle reflects indecision in the market and sometimes takes the form of a doji candle.
- Third candle - The third candle typically has a long green body and opens at or below the midpoint of the second candle’s body.
That image is a graphical icon that gives an idea visually of what a morning star pattern looks like.
You can see that the first candle is red and tall. The third candle is green and tall.
The second candle is a small candle that is near or below the bottom of the first candle. It doesn't have a tall body, which reflects a lack of strong conviction from buyers or sellers.
