Bearish Harami / 陰のはらみ線
Reference values based on Bulkowski's "Encyclopedia of Chart Patterns". Data is primarily from U.S. markets and may differ for other markets.
A two-candlestick pattern appearing at the top of an uptrend. The first candle is a large bullish candle and the second is a small bearish candle, with the second candle's body fitting entirely within the first candle's body. It indicates that buying momentum is weakening and sellers are beginning to enter, suggesting the end of the uptrend and a potential downward reversal.
After the harami is confirmed, enter short when the next candle is bearish and drops below the first bullish candle's open. Waiting one day for confirmation is safer.
Project the first bullish candle's body length downward from the harami pattern's low. Or target the nearest support line.
Place a stop-loss slightly above the higher of the first or second candle's high.
Ideally, high volume on the first candle and decreased volume on the second. Decreased volume indicates weakening buying pressure. Volume increase on the next candle enhances reversal reliability.
