Engulfing Pattern

Technical Analysis

Qué significa

A two-candle reversal signal where the second candle completely covers the body of the first. A bullish engulfing hints the down move is ending.

Ejemplo

A small red candle (open $100, close $99) is followed by a large green candle (open $98.50, close $101). The green body fully engulfs the red -- buyers took control.

Error común de principiantes

Beginners trade every engulfing candle they see. The pattern needs context (a prior move to reverse) and volume to confirm; an isolated engulfing is just two candles.
