The pattern that matches the Fri. Mon. Tues action that you accurately described is an Upside Tasuki Gap. I was surprised to see a bullish pattern after Tues but the logic seems to be that some sellers were flushed out Tues but not enough to send the price below the Fri close - therefore still a bullish pattern. I don't think it's an evening star because the Tues close was above the Fri close. Anyway I appreciate your comments as I trying to learn more. Intc is hanging tough today (at least the last time I looked) so maybe there will be something to this.

Hello Chip and K.Bloomquist Hi: These are the criteria for an Evening Star: 1: Three candlestick pattern 2: Sequentially, the candlesticks are 1: white, 2: white or doji and 3:black 3: 2nd candlestick may or may not gap up. The bodies of the 1st and 2nd are not "touching" or overlapping. The second body is always higher than the 1st body 4: 3rd candlestick is black and the body overlaps with the 1st one 5: The formation is an upside-down symmetric or asymmetric U pattern , so far the limbs of the U are concerned. The first ascending limb is a white body, the top is formed by a real small white body or a Doji and the third or the descending limb is a black body that lines up with the 1st one , not necessarily completely. By applying these criteria to the last 4 candlesticks Thursday, Friday, Monday, Tuesday ( 13, 14, 17, 18th), I don't see any evening star or even a suggestion. I + I I I I I could not construct the patterns as well as I wanted. With the Doji on the top of the pattern,it is called an Evening Doji Star. With regards, Paul
