Morning Star
BullishLong down candle → small star → an up candle reclaiming over half — the classic bottom-reversal trio
Textbook shape
How to read it
Three bars: a long bearish bar, a tiny-bodied 'star', then a bullish bar recovering past the midpoint of the first. Selling stalls at the star, and control flips on day three.
The smaller the star's body and the deeper the third bar's recovery, the closer to textbook.

On SQMATE
No more eyeballing charts
You don't have to flip through charts hunting for shapes. Signal watch pings your browser the moment a condition is met, patterns on your watchlist arrive by email, and the screener lists every symbol that matched today.
SQMATE draws the lines
Support lines, trendlines, channels — the lines you need to read a pattern are drawn for you, so no time goes into drawing.
Patterns aren't the whole story
The same shape doesn't always resolve the same way. It's safer to read it together with candles, volume, and market context — news, catalysts, flows.
