Morning Star Candlestick Pattern

The morning star is a three-candle bullish reversal: a large red candle, a small indecision candle (often a doji), and then a strong green candle that closes well into the first candle's body.

It marks the transition from selling pressure to buying pressure and is considered one of the more reliable reversal patterns.
