Understanding Bullish Engulfing Candlestick PatternThe Bullish Engulfing Candlestick Pattern is a popular price action signal used by traders to identify potential trend reversals in the market. If you're keen on mastering price action trading, understanding this pattern is essential. This guide will take you from the basics of the pattern to advanced insights, with easy-to-understand explanations to help you become more confident in your trading decisions.
What is a Bullish Engulfing Candlestick?
A bullish engulfing candlestick is a two-candle pattern that signals a potential reversal in a bearish trend. The pattern consists of a smaller bearish (red) candle followed by a larger bullish (green) candle that completely engulfs the previous one. This indicates that the buying pressure has overwhelmed the sellers, suggesting a shift from a downtrend to an uptrend.
Key Features of the Bullish Engulfing Pattern
Here’s a breakdown of the key characteristics:
Number of Candles: The pattern consists of two candles.
First Candle: A bearish candle, typically red, showing a decline in price.
Second Candle: A bullish candle, typically green, that completely engulfs the previous bearish candle, including its wicks.
Prior Trend: A bearish trend must precede the pattern to validate it as a potential reversal signal.
Prediction: A potential shift from bearish to bullish trend.
The Anatomy of a Bullish Engulfing Pattern
To fully grasp this pattern, let's break down the structure:
The first candle in the pattern is a small bearish candle, indicating the continuation of a downtrend.
The second candle is a large bullish candle that opens lower than the previous close and closes higher than the previous high, completely engulfing it. This suggests a strong buying momentum.
Why Do Bullish Engulfing Patterns Work?
A bullish engulfing pattern is significant because it reflects a shift in market sentiment. Here’s why:
Seller Exhaustion: The first candle shows a bearish trend, indicating seller dominance. When the second candle engulfs it, it suggests that sellers are losing control.
Buyer Strength: The second candle’s larger body signals strong buying interest, indicating a shift in market control from sellers to buyers.
Market Psychology: A bullish engulfing pattern indicates that traders are willing to buy at higher prices, leading to increased bullish momentum.
Why a Pin Bar Can Be an Engulfing Pattern
A common observation among experienced traders is that a pin bar on a higher timeframe can appear as a bullish engulfing pattern on a lower timeframe. This happens because:
A pin bar shows a strong rejection of lower prices, which on a lower timeframe looks like a large bullish candle engulfing smaller bearish candles.
This highlights the importance of multi-timeframe analysis. Understanding how patterns form on different timeframes gives a more holistic view of market dynamics.

Brent crude: Buying into the stormAny trade you take in oil right now is probably going to make you a quick win or loss .
Oil has easily been the most volatile market this week - it's pretty obvious why
1) Hurricanes in the US disrupting supply
2) War in the Middle East
For us, the trend is higher since breaking through $76 / bbl. And the latest fractal forming a higher low helped confirm this idea.
This uptrend has not been properly established with 2 higher highs, which offers bigger possible upside but also a greater chance of never getting going.
You can see the price is trapped between the 50 SMA and 200 SMA.
We see a chance for a favourable 2:1 risk reward by trading the pullback from yesterday's bullish engulfing candlestick up to this week's high around 81.50.

EURUSD Daily Technical AnalysisHi Traders!
If we look closely at Daily Chart, the @eurusd pair could form a very interesting Reversal Pattern in the short term. From a technical point of view an Engulfing Pattern could appear with a minimum Target around 1.087 area (see chart below), but if this will work correctly as a “reversal” the projection could be even more interesting.
That said, if we have Engulfing Pattern in the daily close, it might be interesting to try to take short position on the pullback with stop loss below the previous low or failure of the Pattern. Traders who have followed our previous analyses on our Blog can handle the long position taken on the Harmonic Structure (ABC Pattern) on 1H chart.
The dollar slipped on Friday as investors fretted U.S. payrolls data could be weak after an unexpected slump in U.S. manufacturing raised concerns about a slowdown in the world's largest economy and lifted traditional safe-haven currencies.
In conclusion, next week we have interesting macro events as well as follow the geo-political dynamics (Iran-Israel) and from the technical point of view we have a potential Reversal Pattern to follow today, let's see what will happen in the coming hours.
The monthly on btcusd.The price confirms that it has reversed the bear market of 2022. We already knew this thanks to the analyzes of the lower time frames. With the engulfing bear not yet confirmed, the price draws a new price structure above the previous ath on a monthly timeframe, I know this is something we have already seen, but now we have the full picture and it is not something to be underestimated after we have seen on What resistance levels there was the first significant profit taking. Btc could catch its breath a bit before starting to run again, because with this confirmation which sees the sequence of highs and lows rising and the number of monthly sessions greater than the previous bear, it is only a matter of time, the price will take the direction of the rise and it will do so forcefully, when we cannot know, we have the long-term trend on our side, this would be enough even if we cannot predict the future.

#EURGBP selling opportunityEURGBP exhibits a valid bearish market structure in the 1-hour timeframe, as illustrated in the chart. This structure begins after the price tested an important daily resistance and was subsequently rejected.
With this ongoing bearish move, we are inclined to take sell positions in this pair as long as the current structure persists.
Upon closer examination, the price tested the bearish trendline and formed a 1-hour engulfing candlestick pattern . When combined with the preceding candles, it resulted in an evening star candlestick pattern.
The occurrence of this pattern within a resistance area enhances the likelihood of its significance.
The formation of this pattern leaves us with a clean-break area, which serves as an important supply zone where traders may consider selling this pair.
Additional bearish confluences include the price testing the 1-hour and 30-minute 200 EMA.
For selling this pair, the optimal area to place your stop-loss would be above the previous high. If the price reaches that point, it indicates the end of the bearish trend, and we would then be dealing with a bullish trend.

#Nikkei buying opportunitHello, traders and friends. I hope you all doing well.
Let's delve into NIKKEI chart and explore why we believe there may be a potential Buying opportunity.
The three-wave bearish corrective nature of this downward leg, following a bullish impulsive wave we observed on the chart, suggests the possibility of another bullish move, potentially testing at least the upper boundary of our longer-term bearish trendline channel.
Supportive confluences that we have observed include the inner trendline, which has acted as both resistance and support multiple times, indicating traders' awareness of its significance. Additionally, the price has reached a static support line and a demand area from above, both of which serve as important support levels. Furthermore, the price retraced around 50% of the Fibonacci level of the last bullish move.
Additionally, we've observed the formation of a 4-hour bullish engulfing candle, which can be seen as a trigger for this potential buying setup.

Bitcoin:Monthly chart ViewHi guys.
Hope you have had perfect trades.
In this idea i will share you some TA perspectives about
Bitcoin Longterm reactions according to historical datas.
As you can see each time the price reached the MA50 , made a
trough below it and then come back above.
Now we can se in Monthly chart that after price shaped
a Bottom under MA50 , it tries to come back above with a
Bullish Engulfing pattern.
after that we surpass MA50 with another white candle and now ,
Unfortunately we have some frauds in market.
(China Evergrande Group bankruptcy and Tesla sold
millions of BTC).
So in my opinion after a few weeks , Bitcoin start to continue
its smoothed run and go towards 36000.
its the level we will see at the end of 2023.
after that...
Lets see what will happen and dont predict far futures :)
If you like my opinion please tell me yours in comment.
Thank you all my friends

Bitcoin Scalping PlanHello friends.
According to following reasons i personally go LONG for BTC/USD :
1 - Reach the Higher Timeframe Valid trendline.
2- shape an Bullish Engulfing pattern on this line.
3-Reach the 27000 support level.
4-Bullish divergence Between Price and RSI.
5-Long distance from 50 , 100 and 200 EMA
So for these reasons i think we can go up till drawn trendline and
price 28200.
Trade R/R is 1:2 and after that we should look after price for next analysis.
Thanks for your supports.

EURUSD DailyCan I just say WOW at the rejection at the 200MA ?!? Honestly this is playing out how I would like to see the market.
I recognize a price action candle, the shooting star. The shooting star often occurs when the market is buying and begins to react at some level of resistance. I am identifying my level of resistance as the 200MA.
I would like to see todays candle (11/16) to close as an engulfed candle. ONLY IF todays candle close with momentum, the market is likely to continue to sell…
But as of right now, I am going to sit on my hands and continue to watch the market form.

Easy way to catch impulsive waves (pullback on EURUSD chart)Hello everyone,
learn how to catch the end of wave 4 and trade with the trend.
This corrective wave has made a double bottom on 0.76 fib of the previous impulse movement. The double bottom was achieved with an engulfing candle (entry point). Cut your loss below wave 2 (wave 4 is not supposed to retrace that far), and catch your first profit target at the retest of wave 3 level, and let your profits run.
Goodluck,
Joe.
Silver CFD Analyzehello everyone
i think we reach to 38.2% fibo level and also a trendline.
we see two candlestick patterns too.
one bullish engulfing pattern
and one morning star pattern.
so maybe we could grow to 200MA and then correct again.
if you open a position dont forget too set your SL under this trendline
and early bottom u see in chart.
(!!!NOTE!!!
my posts are just my own opinion and you must trade and invest in your own strategy.
be careful and protect your capital first.)
thank you all for your supports
