The candlestick formation Engulfing Bearish is a highly reliable trend change pattern that is formed in bull markets and indicates that there is a high probability that the market will change its direction from bullish to bearish. Sometimes it could be the beginning of a bearish trend. This pattern can be identified in the following way:
- First we have a candlestick with a small white real body, followed by a black candle with a long real body that encompasses in its entirety the white real body of the previous candle. In other words, the range of the first candlestick is within the range of the second candlestick.
- The previous trend of the market must be bullish.
