BEARISH ENGULFING PATTERN (BEP)<\/strong>
\na large black body which engulfs a small white body in an uptrend<\/p>\n

Characteristics:<\/strong>
\n1. Market is on an uptrend;
\n2. Day 1 has a white stick;
\n3. Day 2 has a black stick that completely engulfs Day 1\u2019s white body.<\/p>\n

Brief Explanation:<\/strong>
\nThe BEP is a large black body which engulfs a small white body in an uptrend. It is an important top reversal signal. The market here is in a bull mood. Then there is decreased buying as seen by the short white body. This is followed by a strong sell-off which leads to a close below the previous day\u2019s open. It can be seen that the uptrend has lost momentum and the bears may be gaining strength.<\/p>\n

Notes:
\n1. A bearish reversal is more likely if there is heavy volume on the second body
\n2. A confirmation on Day 3 is necessary to ensure that the uptrend has reversed (through a black stick, a large gap down or a lower close).<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
