Bullish engulfing and bearish engulfing are both powerful candlestick patterns, but they work in different market conditions. One is not “better” than the other. It depends on where they appear.
Bullish engulfing works best when:
Price is in a downtrend or near strong support
Sellers look exhausted
A small red candle is fully covered by a strong green candle
Volume increases on the engulfing candle
This pattern shows buyers have taken control. In coins like Dogi, it often signals a short-term reversal or the start of a bounce. Confirmation comes when the next candle continues upward.
Bearish engulfing works best when:
Price is in an uptrend or near resistance
Buyers are getting weak
A small green candle is fully covered by a strong red candle
Volume increases on the engulfing candle
This shows sellers stepping in aggressively. In Dogi, it often appears near local tops and can signal a pullback or trend change.
Which one is more reliable?
Bullish engulfing is stronger at support
Bearish engulfing is stronger at resistance
Both are more reliable on higher timeframes like 1H, 4H, or Daily
Always confirm with trend, volume, and structure
Simple rule:
Trade bullish engulfing in fear zones.
Trade bearish engulfing in greed zones.
Used alone, they can fail. Used with context, they become very effective.
