    top 5 bearish candlestick pattern

    When the market signals weakness, you need to be prepared. Knowing how to identify bearish candlestick patterns can help you protect profits, avoid traps, and even capitalize on trend reversals.

    In this blog, we’ll break down the Top 5 Bearish Candlestick Patterns that signal potential downturns, and cover:

    • Their relevance and market psychology
    • How to confirm them before entering trades
    • Where to place stop losses
    • What causes pattern failures
    • Special tips for successful execution
    • And where to master these patterns with ISFM’s live stock trading courses

    1. Bearish Engulfing Pattern

    What Is It?

    A two-candle reversal pattern where the second candle (red) completely engulfs the body of the first candle (green). It forms after an uptrend and signals strong selling pressure.

    Relevance:

    • Indicates a sudden momentum shift from buyers to sellers
    • Ideal for swing and short-term traders

    Confirmation:

    • Enter after the next candle breaks the low of the engulfing candle
    • Volume spike = stronger signal

    Failure Signs:

    • Pattern forms in consolidation zones
    • Engulfing candle has low volume

    Stop Loss:

    • Above the high of the engulfing candle

    Special Point:

    • Use with resistance or overbought RSI for high accuracy

    2. Evening Star Pattern

    What Is It?

    A three-candle reversal pattern:

    1. Large bullish candle
    2. Small indecision candle (Doji or Spinning Top)
    3. Strong bearish candle closing into the first candle’s body

    Relevance:

    • Appears after a rally, signaling buyer exhaustion
    • Strong early warning of a potential trend reversal

    Confirmation:

    • Entry after third candle closes below midpoint of the first
    • Best with confirmation from volume or RSI divergence

    Failure Signs:

    • Third candle is weak
    • Appears in low-volume stocks

    Stop Loss:

    • Above the high of the middle candle

    Special Point:

    • Combine with moving average or resistance zone

    3. Shooting Star Pattern

    What Is It?

    A single bearish reversal candle with a small real body near the low and a long upper wick, appearing at the top of an uptrend.

    Relevance:

    • Indicates rejection of higher prices
    • Often marks the end of bullish momentum

    Confirmation:

    • Entry after the next candle breaks below the low of the Shooting Star
    • Add volume or MACD confirmation

    Failure Signs:

    • Weak follow-through candle
    • Appears during sideways market

    Stop Loss:

    • Above the high of the Shooting Star

    Special Point:

    • Use on higher timeframes (1H, Daily) for best results

    4. Dark Cloud Cover

    What Is It?

    A two-candle bearish reversal pattern where:

    1. First candle is strong bullish
    2. Second is bearish and closes below the midpoint of the first

    Relevance:

    • Indicates early signs of seller dominance
    • Reliable signal when formed near resistance

    Confirmation:

    • Wait for second candle to close strongly
    • Confirm with volume or Bearish RSI divergence

    Failure Signs:

    • Appears in low-volatility zones
    • Bearish candle is too small

    Stop Loss:

    • Above the high of the pattern

    Special Point:

    • Use with trendline resistance for better results

    5. Hanging Man Pattern

    What Is It?

    A single-candle pattern with a small real body at the top and a long lower shadow, formed after an uptrend.

    Relevance:

    • Early warning that bullish momentum is weakening
    • Bears are testing lower levels

    Confirmation:

    • Enter on the next candle breaking below the Hanging Man’s low

    Failure Signs:

    • No confirmation candle
    • Appears in sideways markets

    Stop Loss:

    • Above the high of the Hanging Man

    Special Point:

    • Best used with volume confirmation or RSI divergence
