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 bottom of a downtrend. The first candle is a large bearish candle and the second is a small bullish candle, with the second candle's body fitting entirely within the first candle's body. It indicates that selling momentum is weakening and buyers are beginning to enter, suggesting the end of the downtrend and a potential upward reversal.

Formation Conditions

  • A preceding downtrend must be in place
  • The first candle must have a large bearish body
  • The second candle must have a small bullish body
  • The second candle's body must fit entirely within the first candle's body
  • Confirmation of an advance on the next candle increases reliability

Entry Condition

After the harami is confirmed, enter long when the next candle is bullish and exceeds the first bearish candle's open. Waiting one day for confirmation is safer.

Target Calculation

Project the first bearish candle's body length upward from the harami pattern's high. Or target the nearest resistance line.

Stop Loss Rule

Place a stop-loss slightly below the lower of the first or second candle's low.

Volume Profile

Ideally, high volume on the first candle and decreased volume on the second. Decreased volume indicates weakening selling pressure. Volume increase on the next candle enhances reversal reliability.

False Signal Detection

  • Less meaningful without a preceding downtrend
  • If the second body extends beyond the first, it is not a harami
  • If the next candle does not confirm an advance, the signal is negated
  • May have limited effect during a strong downtrend, ending as a temporary bounce
  • Extremely low volume makes the signal unreliable
