Spotting Trend Reversals: How Morning & Evening Star Patterns Flip the Market

Timing a reversal can change your entire trade. The Morning Star and Evening Star patterns help identify when momentum shifts giving you an early signal before price confirms it.

🌅 Morning Star - Bullish Reversal

Seen after a downtrend, the Morning Star (as in BTC$BTC / USDT$USDT on the 4H chart) shows sellers losing steam and buyers stepping in.

It consists of:

A long red candle (selling pressure)

A small Doji (indecision)

A strong green candle (buyers reclaim control)

This pattern often marks the bottom of a selloff, especially when confirmed by rising volume or a bullish RSI divergence.

🌇 Evening Star - Bearish Reversal

The inverse setup signals exhaustion at the top of an uptrend, a long green candle, followed by a small Doji and a strong red candle confirming sellers’ control. Perfect for spotting early weakness in rallies.

💡 Pro Tip:

These formations are powerful, but don’t trade them blindly. Combine them with indicators like RSI, MACD, or volume confirmation to separate real shifts from noise.

Bottom line:

Morning and Evening Stars are more than patterns - they’re snapshots of sentiment flipping in real time. Learn to read them, and you’ll catch reversals before they catch you. ⚡
