Bullish Engulfing Pattern

Bullish Engulfing Pattern is an extension of the piercing pattern.

Bullish Engulfing pattern is a two-candle pattern. The first candle is a bearish pattern that appears in the downtrend. Second candle is a bullish candle that completely engulfs the body of the previous candle.

The pattern is similar to the Piercing pattern, but the price goes above the 50% of the previous body in case of the Piercing pattern. In case of Bullish Engulfing, price goes above the body of the earlier candle and engulfs it. The Bullish Engulfing is a stronger pattern than the Piercing pattern. It is a bullish reversal pattern.

Shadows don’t matter much in this formation, but the bodies shouldn’t be too narrow. The pattern is bullish because bulls have completely engulfed the body of the previous bearish candle.
