Bullish/Bearish Engulfing Lines

An engulfing line is a strong indicator of a directional change. A bearish engulfing line is a reversal pattern after an uptrend. The key is that the second candle’s body “engulfs” the prior day’s body in the opposite direction. This suggests that, in the case of an uptrend, the buyers had a brief attempt higher but finished the day well below the close of the prior candle. This suggests that the uptrend is stalling and has begun to reverse lower. Also, note the prior two days’ candles, which showed a double top, or a tweezers top, itself a reversal pattern.

A bullish engulfing line is the corollary pattern to a bearish engulfing line, and it appears after a downtrend. Also, a double bottom, or tweezers bottom, is the corollary formation that suggests a downtrend may be ending and set to reverse higher.
