Inverted Hammer
--> An Inverted Hammer candlestick pattern typically has a small body and a long upper wick/shadow. The upper wick/shadow is generally 2-3 times of the body. They're also called Shooting Star when found at the top.
--> They are considered as a potential bearish reversal sign when found at the top of an up-trend. |

Bearish Piercing
--> Bearish Piercing is a two candlestick pattern where the first candle is a normal bullish candle and the second candle is a bearish candle.
--> In ideal situations, the second candle opens with a gap-up however, it can also open at the same level as the close of the bullish candle.
--> Most importantly, the bearish should close below the median of the bullish candle. |
Bearish Engulf
--> Bearish Engulf is a two candlestick pattern where the first candle is a normal bullish candle and the second candle is a bearish candle.
--> In Ideal situations the second candle opens with a gap-up, however, it can also open at the same level as the close of the bullish candle and it should close below the open of the first bullish candle thereby, engulfing it. |

Evening Star
--> Evening Star is a 3 candle-stick pattern where the first candle is a normal bullish candle.
--> The second candle, typically, is a neutral candle-stick pattern that opens with a gap-up whose high will mostly be higher as compared to the high of the first bullish candle (color of the neutral candle doesn't matter).
--> The third candle is a bearish candle which opens with a gap-down and closes below the median of the first bullish candle. |
