What is Shooting Star?

Charts

유성형

A candle with a small body at the bottom and a long upper wick. It is a trace of price being pushed up and then pushed back. It carries more meaning when it appears near resistance after a rise; the same shape appearing in open space during a decline is interpreted differently. Position, more than shape, is what makes it informative.
