The Shooting Star and the 200 EMA

The Shooting Star is a bearish reversal candlestick pattern which is formed by a candlestick with a small or non-existing real body and a long upper shadow. The longer the upper shadow; the higher the probabilities of seeing a change in direction to the downside. The 200 period Exponential Moving Average is very reliable as a support or resistance level, especially on the higher time frames like the Daily chart below of the EUR/USD. When a Shooting Star is formed around the 200 EMA, its implications as a bearish reversal pattern are even higher and there is a good probability that the price has found a strong resistance zone. Therefore, we should pay attention to the visits that price does to the 200 Day EMA and if a Shooting Star is formed around this moving average the chances of a bounce to the downside are really high.
