Bearish Engulfing Pattern

43
🔎 Overview
The Bearish Engulfing Pattern is a strong two-candle reversal formation that signals a potential shift from an uptrend to a downtrend.
It occurs when a small bullish (green) candle is immediately followed by a large bearish (red) candle that completely engulfs the prior candle’s body.
This shows a clear shift in market psychology — buyers initially push the price higher, but sellers step in with force and erase those gains, marking the start of bearish momentum.

📔 Concept
A Bearish Engulfing occurs when:
1️⃣ The first candle is a small green candle continuing the uptrend.
2️⃣ The next candle is a large red candle whose body completely engulfs the green candle’s body.
3️⃣ This pattern signals that sellers have regained control after buyer exhaustion.

____________________________________________________________

📌 How to Use
Validation → The candle must close below the open of the red candle to confirm bearish reversal.
Devalidation → If price closes above the close of the red candle before validation, the signal fails.
This structured confirmation helps filter false breakouts and define clear risk levels.
