HDFC Bank was in a steady uptrend, with buyers consistently driving the stock price higher. On one particular day, the stock formed a strong bullish candle, reflecting robust buying momentum and the continuation of the uptrend.
The stock opened slightly higher in the following session, but the price action showed indecision. It traded within a narrow range, forming a small-bodied candle, such as a Doji, which indicated hesitation in the prevailing trend and hinted at a potential reversal.
The third session marked a sharp change in sentiment. The stock opened lower, and sellers took control, driving the price significantly downward. By the end of the day, a large bearish candle was formed, confirming the shift in market sentiment and completing the Evening Star pattern.
This three-candle structure signals a possible reversal from an uptrend to a downtrend. The first bullish candle shows solid buying interest. The second candle is small-bodied, representing indecision or a pause in momentum. The third (Bearish) candle confirms that sellers have gained control.
For traders, the Evening Star is a reliable indicator of a bearish reversal, suggesting the potential for further downward movement. Monitoring subsequent sessions for confirmation can help validate the signal before initiating short positions.
