Patterns are detected fresh after each market close. Check back tomorrow.What is a Bearish Engulfing pattern?
The Bearish Engulfing pattern warns of a potential trend reversal from bullish to bearish. It is a two-candle pattern where aggressive selling on Day 2 completely swallows the prior day's bullish price action.
On NSE stocks, the pattern carries more weight when RSI is above 65 and the stock has rallied for 5+ sessions. MomentumIQ screens every NSE stock daily for this pattern automatically.
When is the Bearish Engulfing most reliable?
Near overhead resistance, after RSI crosses 70, or when the engulfing candle has 2× or more volume than the previous day.
Can this pattern appear in sideways markets?
Yes, but false signals are more common in sideways or low-volume markets. It is most useful after a clear uptrend.
What stop-loss should I use?
Place a stop-loss above the high of the engulfing (Day 2) candle. Target the nearest support level for an exit.
Does MomentumIQ detect intraday Bearish Engulfing?
Currently we detect the pattern on daily (EOD) data only. Intraday detection is on our roadmap.
