The engulfing candle can be bullish or bearish depending on where it forms in relation to the existing trend. The image below presents the bullish engulfing candle.provides the strongest signal when appearing at the bottom of a downtrend and indicates a surge in buying pressure.
The pattern can also be used as a signal to exit an existing trade if the trader holds a position in the existing trend which is coming to an end. A limitation of the engulfing candle can arise when the pattern turns out to be more of a retracement than a definite change in direction, but traders can look for subsequent price action to reduce the likelihood of this undesirable outcome.Traders can look to trade the bearish engulfing pattern by waiting for confirmation of the move by observing subsequent price action or to wait for a pullback before initiating a trade.Look for a successful close below the low of the bearish engulfing candle.
