Pattern shape
What it means
Sellers were in control on day one, but day two opened lower and buyers pushed it through the prior open. Sentiment shift: supply absorbed, demand back.
Confirmation to wait for
Strongest when the engulfing candle's volume exceeds the prior candle's volume and a real downtrend precedes the setup.
Failure mode
Inside a range, two-candle engulfings are common noise. The engulfing must follow a measurable downtrend to count as a reversal.
Detection rule
prev.close < prev.open (red) AND curr.close > curr.open (green) AND curr.open ≤ prev.close AND curr.close ≥ prev.open AND curr body > prev body. Prior 5-day downtrend.
