The mirror of the morning star, and the more useful of the two for anyone who holds positions: a big white candle, a small-bodied pause that gapped away from it, then a black candle closing deep into the first one's gains. Three sessions that read as enthusiasm, doubt, and exit — in that order. Searched within two bars so a signal from yesterday still surfaces.
