Shooting Star , Definition

The Shooting Star Japanese Candlestick is a bearish single day pattern that appears during an uptrend. It opens higher, trades still higher, creating a long upper shadow. It then closes near its open, leaving no lower shadow, and a small real body. Looks like the Inverted Hammer but gives a bearish signal.
