**Engulfing Pattern: The Candlestick Setup That Catches Reversals**



When a small candle gets completely swallowed by the next candle's body—that's your engulfing pattern. It's one of the sharpest signals in technical analysis for trend flips or continuations.

Two flavors exist:

**Bullish Engulfing** — A small red candle followed by a big green one that devours it whole. Sellers tried, but buyers said "nope" and took over. Usually signals upside coming.

**Bearish Engulfing** — Opposite play. Small green candle gets buried by a huge red one. Buyers got wrecked, bears in control now.

The key? The second candle's body must completely cover the first one—not the wicks, just the body. That's what makes it legit.

Traders watch these at support/resistance levels for entry signals. Volume spike on the engulfing candle? Even more bullish for bulls or bearish for bears.
