What the bearish engulfing is
A red body swallows the green one before it. Sellers took control.
Picture a small green fish, then a bigger red fish that swallows it whole. In a bearish engulfing pattern, the red candle's body is so big it covers the whole green body before it. After a rise, it shows sellers suddenly took over.
