[Summary]

Mikawa Evening Star is a candlestick pattern that warns of a downward turn if it appears in the high price range of a rising market.

We look at the three trends of the positive line, the small bar, and the negative line to see if the buying momentum is weakening and selling is starting to become dominant.

The name is similar to the morning star, but the meaning is in the opposite direction.

What is Mikawa Evening Star?

Mikawa Evening Star is an expression that sees the Evening Star in the context of the more classical Sakata Goho.

The basic flow is as follows.

A positive line appears in a rising market
A small foot appears and the momentum stops.
A dark line appears and selling becomes stronger.

If this shape appears in a high price range, there will be increased vigilance for a ceiling to form. Particularly in situations where the market stalls after a period of favorable conditions, people are also conscious of selling as much as they can.
