{% hint style="info" %}
**Shooting Star is a single bearish reversal candlestick pattern, appearing in an uptrend.**
{% endhint %}

**Shooting Star identification:**

* The lower shadow is absent or very short.
* The body of the candle is small, it can be a bullish candle or a bearish candle.
* The upper shadow is 2 to 3 times longer than the body of the candle.

**Meaning of Shooting Star:**

* When the market opened, the buyers took control and pushed the price higher.
* At the peak of the buyers (at the highest price), huge selling pressure appeared and pushed the price down.
* The selling pressure was so strong that the closing price was close to the opening price (lower shadow absent or very short).

In summary, the Shooting Star shows a rejection of higher prices and the bears have the upper hand over the bulls.
