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