The evening star doji is a top reversal pattern that is easily recognized with the doji appearing at the top of a bullish trend.

The doji is telling us that the upward movement is at the very least temporarily over.

Confirmation is given when the next candlestick gaps down from the close and then continues in that direction.

The longer the third candlestick the stronger the signal.
