The Engulfing Pattern is a significant candlestick formation used in technical analysis to identify potential trend reversals. There are two types of Engulfing Patterns: Bullish Engulfing and Bearish Engulfing.

A Bullish Engulfing Pattern occurs during a downtrend and signals a potential upward reversal. It consists of two candles: the first is a small bearish (red or black) candle, followed by a larger bullish (green or white) candle that completely "engulfs" the body of the previous candle. This pattern indicates that buyers have overwhelmed sellers, suggesting a shift in momentum from bearish to bullish.

A Bearish Engulfing Pattern, on the other hand, appears during an uptrend and signals a potential downward reversal. It also consists of two candles: the first is a small bullish candle, followed by a larger bearish candle that engulfs the prior candle's body. This pattern reflects that sellers have taken control, indicating a shift from bullish to bearish sentiment.

The key difference lies in their context and implications. A Bullish Engulfing Pattern suggests buying pressure and a potential upward move, while a Bearish Engulfing Pattern indicates selling pressure and a potential downward move. Both patterns are more reliable when accompanied by high trading volume and occur at key support or resistance levels.
