The Indian stock market, which heralded the Union Budget as positive with its price rise, is today seeing the effects of profit booking.

Many investors, probably both big and small, in addition to traders must have been sitting on huge unrealized profits. They appear to be booking profits today as most of the stocks are showing technical analysis Shooting Star candlestick pattern.

Shooting Star is a candlestick pattern in which the open and closing price (or the current price) is nearby and the day’s high is far above these two prices. Also the low of the day is near to the open and the closing prices. So, the pattern resembles an upside-down cross.

Technical significance of this candlestick pattern is that it indicates a rejection of the higher prices by investors. Buyers attempted to take the price of the stock or index (or any other item) up, but the sellers were so convinced that the high prices are currently unsustainable and thus sell in force dragging the price down.
