Bullish Harami Cross
The Bullish Harami Cross is a significant candlestick pattern that indicates a potential reversal from a bearish trend to a bullish trend. This pattern is characterized by a combination of a long bearish candle followed by a small candlestick that opens and closes near the midpoint of the first candle’s body, often forming a Doji (a candlestick with little or no body).
Characteristics of the Bullish Harami Cross Pattern:
- First Candle: A long bearish (red or black) candle that appears during a downtrend, indicating strong selling pressure.
- Second Candle: A small candle, typically a Doji (or a small bullish candle), that is completely contained within the body of the first candle. The open and close prices of this candle are very close to each other, indicating indecision in the market.
- Signal: The Bullish Harami Cross suggests a weakening of the bearish momentum, indicating that buyers may be starting to gain control. This pattern often precedes a bullish reversal, especially if confirmed by subsequent price action.
