Bearish Engulfing
BearishReversal2 candlesReliability:
A large bearish candle fully engulfs the prior bullish body — a strong bearish reversal.
Description
After a rally, a small bullish candle is swallowed by a large bearish one (opens above the prior close, closes below the prior open).
Market psychology
Sellers overwhelm buyers entirely in a single session — control shifts to the sell side.
How to trade
Sell / take profit when the pattern completes or on the next confirming candle; stop-loss above the engulfing candle's high.
Confirmation
Stronger at a trend top and when the engulfing candle's volume is high.
