Learning Bullish Candlestick Patterns:



BULLISH BREAKAWAY: This five candlestick pattern starts with a strong black candlestick. The next three days after the downside gap set consecutively lower prices. However, the last day completely erases the limited losses of down days and closes inside the gap between the first and second days. This suggests a short term reversal.

BULLISH CONCEALING BABY SWALLOW: This is a pattern formed by four black candlesticks. After two falling Black Marubozu days, a short down day engulfed by a fourth black day shows that the downtrend has eroded significantly, despite the final close is at a new low.

BULLISH DOJI STAR: This pattern appears in a downtrend and warns that the trend will change. It consists of a black candlestick and a Doji with a downward gap at the opening. When the Doji is in the form of an Umbrella the pattern is called “Bullish Dragonfly Doji”, and in case of an Inverted Umbrella it is called “Bullish Gravestone Doji”. Here, all these patterns are subsumed, under the name: “Bullish Doji Star”, regardless of the shape of the Doji.

BULLISH ENGULFING: This pattern is characterized by a large white body engulfing a preceding smaller black body, which appears during a downtrend. The white body does not necessarily engulf the shadows of the black body but totally engulfs the body itself. This is an important bottom reversal signal.

BULLISH HAMMER: This pattern occurs at the bottom of a trend or during a downtrend and it is called a Hammer since it is hammering out of a bottom. It is a single candlestick pattern that has a long lower shadow and a small body at or very near the top of its daily trading range.

BULLISH HARAMI: This pattern consists of a black body and a small white body that is completely inside the range of the black body. If an outline is drawn for the pattern, it looks like a pregnant woman. This is not a coincidence. “Harami” is an old Japanese word for “pregnant”.

BULLISH HARAMI CROSS: This is a major bullish reversal pattern, which is even more significant than a regular Bullish Harami. The outline again looks like a pregnant woman, as with the Bullish Harami Pattern. However, now the baby is a Doji. Basically, the pattern is characterized by a black body followed by a Doji that is completely inside the range of the prior black body.

BULLISH HOMING PIGEON: This pattern is a small black body contained by a prior relatively long black body. It resembles the Harami pattern, except that both bodies are black.

BULLISH INVERTED HAMMER: This pattern consists of a black body followed by an Inverted Hammer that is characterized by a long upper shadow and a small body. It is similar in shape to the Bearish Shooting Star but unlike the Shooting Star, the Inverted Hammer appears in a downtrend and signals a bullish reversal.

BULLISH KICKING: This pattern consists firstly of a black Marubozu and then a white Marubozu. After the black Marubozu, the market opens above the prior session’s opening, forming a gap between the two candlesticks.

BULLISH LADDER BOTTOM: This is a five candlestick pattern that starts with three strong black candlesticks. The downtrend continues with the fourth lower close. The next day gaps higher and closes much higher than the previous day or two. This may imply a bullish reversal.

BULLISH MATCHING LOW: This pattern occurs when two black days appear with equal closes in a downtrend. Matching Low indicates a bottom has been made, even though the new low was tested and there was no follow through, which is indicative of a good support price

BULLISH MEETING LINE: This pattern occurs during a downtrend. The first day’s black candlestick is followed by a white candlestick that opens sharply lower and closes at the same level as the prior session’s close. It is similar to the Piercing Line pattern. However, the amount the second day rebounds is different

BULLISH MORNING DOJI STAR: This is a three candlestick pattern signaling a major bottom reversal. It is composed of a black candlestick followed by a Doji, which characteristically gaps down to form a Doji Star. Then, we have a third white candlestick whose closing is well into the first session’s black real body. This is a distinctive bottom pattern.

BULLISH PIERCING LINE: This is a bottom reversal pattern with two candlesticks. A black candlestick appears on the first day while a downtrend is in progress. The second day opens at a new low, with a gap down and closes more than halfway into the prior black body, leading to the formation of a strong white candlestick.

BULLISH STICK SANDWICH: This pattern has two black bodies with a white body between them. That is why it looks like a sandwich. The closing of both black candlesticks at the same level shows that a support price has been established

BULLISH THREE INSIDE UP: This is a confirmed Bullish Harami pattern. The first two candlesticks are exactly the same as the Bullish Harami, and the third day represents bullish confirmation

BULLISH THREE OUTSIDE UP: This is a confirmed Bullish Engulfing pattern. The first two candlesticks are exactly the same as the Bullish Engulfing pattern and the third day represents its confirmation.

BULLISH THREE WHITE SOLDIERS: This pattern indicates a strong reversal in the market. It is characterized by three normal or long candlesticks incrementing upwards. The opening of each day is slightly lower than previous close and prices progressively close at higher levels. This staircase like behavior signals the reversal of the trend.

BULLISH TRI STAR: This pattern is a sequence of three Doji. The occurrence of this pattern is extremely rare, so when it occurs it should not be ignored.

BULLISH UNIQUE THREE RIVER BOTTOM: This is a three-candlestick pattern that somewhat looks like the Bullish Morning Star. It appears in a downtrend. The first day’s black candlestick engulfs the following small black body, which characteristically has a long lower shadow. The pattern is completed by a small white body, which closes below the close of the second day.

BULLISH ABANDONED BABY: This is a three candlestick pattern signaling a major bottom reversal. It is exactly the same as the Bullish Morning Doji Star with one important difference. The shadows on the Doji must also gap below the shadows of the first and third days. Its name comes from the second day of the pattern, which floats out on the chart by itself like an abandoned baby of the first and third days

BULLISH BELT HOLD: Bullish Belt Hold is a single candlestick pattern, basically, a White Opening Marubozu that occurs in a downtrend. It opens on the low of the day, and then a rally begins during the day against the overall trend of the market, which eventually stops with a close near the high, leaving a small shadow on top of the candle. If longer bodies characterize the Belt Hold, then the resistance they offer against the trend will be even much stronger.
