The Shooting Star and the Inverted Hammer


for example, forex

The «shooting star» and «inverted hammer» patterns (Figure 1) don’t belong to strong reversal patterns.

The criteria of the shooting star and inverted hammer patterns:



  • The real body is small and is at the lower end of the trading range. The color of the body is not important.

  • The upper shadow is long.

  • There should be no lower shadow or a very small lower shadow.

  • The real body of an ideal «shooting star» / «inverted hammer» forms a gap against the real body of the preceding candle but this gap isn’t essential.
