Bullish Harami
A Bullish Harami is a two-candle reversal pattern where a small bullish candle forms entirely within the body of the preceding large bearish candle.
The sudden contraction in range shows selling momentum stalling abruptly, often the first sign that a downtrend is losing steam.
- Forms after a downtrend.
- First candle is a long bearish candle.
- Second candle is bullish and small, with its entire body contained inside the first candle's body — the opposite of an Engulfing pattern.
- Considered weaker than an Engulfing pattern — many traders wait for a break above the first candle's high before acting.
- Stop-loss is typically set below the Harami's low.

Domande frequenti
No — Harami is generally viewed as a weaker signal since it shows contraction rather than the decisive takeover seen in an Engulfing pattern.
Traders often watch for a 'Harami Cross' (a doji as the second candle, even more indecisive) or a confirming bullish candle before entering.
