Bearish Harami
A large bullish candle followed by a small bearish candle inside the first — upside momentum is fading at the top of an uptrend.
The Bearish Harami has a long bullish first candle followed by a short bearish candle contained inside it. It appears at the top of an uptrend.
The big green candle shows buyers still in charge. The small red body that follows, entirely within the first, shows the rally is losing steam — buyers can no longer sustain the prior session's range. It's a warning, not a verdict. Follow-through selling the next session confirms the signal and turns it into a tradeable setup.
