• A bullish engulfing pattern is a candlestick pattern that forms when a small black candlestick the next day is followed by a large white candlestick whose body completely overlaps or engulfs the body of the previous day’s candlestick.

  • Bullish engulfing patterns are more likely to signal reversals when they are preceded by four or more black candles.
  • Investors should pay attention not only to the two candles that form a bullish engulfing pattern, but also to the previous candles.
