š“Understanding the Bearish Engulfing Pattern in Trading
š What is a Bearish Engulfing Pattern?
ā¢The Bearish Engulfing is a 2-candle pattern that signals a potential trend reversal to the downside.
It shows that sellers have taken control after a period of buying.
šÆļø Structure of the Bearish Engulfing:
Candle Description
ā¢1st Candle Small green (bullish) candle ā shows buyers were active.
ā¢2nd Candle Large red (bearish) candle that completely covers (engulfs) the body of the first green candle.
š§ "Engulfing" means the second candle is so big that it swallows the previous one.
š ā”ļø š What It Means:
ā¢The market was moving up (bullish).
ā¢Then a strong bearish candle appears and takes over.
ā¢This shift shows sellers are back in control, and the price may start falling.
ā Beginner Tips:
ā¢Look for this pattern after an uptrend.
ā¢Strongest when:
ā¢The red candle has high volume.
ā¢It happens near a resistance level.
ā¢Always wait for confirmation (another red candle or technical indicator like RSI dropping).
š Simple Example:
ā¢Imagine BNB was rising nicely.
ā¢Day 1: A small green candle forms.
ā¢Day 2: A big red candle opens higher, but closes much lower ā completely engulfs the green candle.
That's a Bearish Engulfing Pattern ā warning sign that the price might reverse and drop. šØ
