The Shooting Star and The Inverted Hammer

Their characteristics:

  • A small real body of any color is at the bottom of a candle.
  • Upper shadow is very long.
  • Lower shadow is very small or missing.

A real body of the ideal Shooting Star / Inverted Hammer and a prior candle's real body have a gap between them but it is not required.
