In this blog we will be discussing 5 Powerful Bullish Candlestick Patterns:
1. Hammer:
Hammer is a bullish reversal candlestick pattern that occurs at the bottom of a downtrend.
This bullish candlestick pattern is formed when the open and low prices are almost the same.
This pattern should consist of a lower shadow which is twice as long as the real body.

When identifying this pattern when should remember that the prior trend is a downtrend.

This pattern is formed when the real body is small along with a long lower shadow which shows
that bears were trying to push down the prices but they were unable to do so.

A bullish candlestick should be formed after the Hammer which confirms that the bullish
reversal has taken place.

Below is the daily chart of Nifty 50 in which all the above 3 points are demonstrated:

2. The Piercing Pattern:

The bearish candlestick should have a large real body and the second bullish candlestick should
be below the low of the previous candlestick and should close above the middle of the real body
of the first candlestick.
Investors must look at a few characteristics when they trade with this bullish candlestick pattern-
piercing pattern:

 Firstly, the trend should be downtrend, as the piercing pattern is a bullish reversal pattern.

 Secondly, the length of the candlestick plays an important role in determining the force
with which the reversal will take place.

 The gap down between the bearish and bullish candlesticks indicates how powerful the
trend reversal will be.

 Fourthly, the bullish candlestick should close more than the midpoint of the previous
bearish candlestick.

 Lastly, the bearish, as well as the bullish candlestick, should have larger bodies.

3. Bullish Engulfing:
The bullish engulfing candlestick pattern indicates bullish reversal which shows a rise in the
buying pressure. This bullish candlestick pattern indicates a reversal from downtrend as more
buyers enter the market and move the prices up after a long downtrend,
The pattern consists of two candles with the second green candle completely engulfing the ‘body
of the previous red candle.

One should remember when trading with a Bullish engulfing pattern the prior trend should be a
downtrend. Engulfing candles helps the traders in spotting the trend reversals that indicate trend
continuation, and also assist traders with an exit signal:
Engulfing patterns support the continuation of the ongoing trend, for example, when spotting a
bullish engulfing pattern in an uptrend, it indicates that the ongoing trend will continue.
