What the bullish harami is
A small candle inside a big red one. Selling is slowing down.
Imagine someone shouting loudly, then suddenly speaking in a whisper. A bullish harami is like that: after a big red candle, the next candle is small and green and fits inside the red body. The sellers' loud push has gone quiet.
