If second body of the Engulfing pattern engulfs more than one body of the candle, it is a strong bearish reversal pattern. Let’s call it as Mega Bearish Engulfing pattern.
It shows that price is engulfing previous multiple sessions, hence there was a pause of consolidation after the uptrend followed by a strong bearish price action. It suggests a strong trend reversal.
If the single candlestick patterns like Hanging man, shooting star, Gravestone Doji or Star etc. are part the candles being engulfed, the pattern becomes stronger. If there are more lower shadows in the candles being Engulfed, the chances of strong bottom in place are high.
Mega Bearish Engulfing pattern is a strong and reliable bearish reversal pattern.
