How to recognize it
- Appears after a decline.
- 1. A long bearish candle.
- 2. A small-bodied candle (the "star") that opens below the first close. If it is a doji, the pattern is a morning doji star.
- 3. A bullish candle that closes well into the first candle's body, ideally above its midpoint.
What it suggests
The three candles show the transition step by step: strong selling, then hesitation, then buyers taking charge.
Where it matters
Strongest at support, especially when volume rises on the third candle.
