Bullish Candlestick Patterns

Three Outside Up
Timeframe: Hourly
Reliability: High
A reversal pattern.
This pattern is a more reliable addition to the standard Engulfing pattern. A bullish Engulfing pattern occurs in the first two candles. The third candlestick is confirmation of the bullish trend reversal.

Belt Hold Bullish
Timeframe: 5 Hours
Reliability: Low
A reversal pattern.
During a downtrend, a white body occurs with an open that is also the low for it. This may signify a start of rally for the bulls. The larger the white candlestick is, the more significant it is.

Bullish Engulfing
Timeframe: 5 Hours
Reliability: Moderate
A reversal pattern.
During a downtrend, the Bullish Engulfing depicts an opening at a new low and closes at or above the previous candle’s open. This signifies that the downtrend has lost momentum and the bulls may be gaining strength. Factors increasing the pattern's effectiveness are:
1) The first candlestick has a small real body and the second has a large real body.
2) Pattern appears after protracted or very fast move.
3) Heavy volume on second real body.
4) The second candlestick engulfs more than one real body.

Harami Bullish
Timeframe: Daily, Weekly
Reliability: Low
A reversal pattern.
The Harami Bullish Pattern is characterized by a small white real body contained within a prior relatively long black real body. 'Harami' is old Japanese word for pregnant. The long black candlestick is 'the mother' and the small candlestick is 'the baby'.
The smaller the second candlestick, the stronger is the reversal signal. The shadows of the second candlestick do not have to be contained within the first candle’s body, though it's preferable if they are. Pattern needs confirmation on the next candlestick.

Harami Cross
Timeframe: Daily, Weekly
Reliability: Low
A reversal pattern.
After a long black candlestick at the low end of a downtrend, a white candlestick opens higher or at the previous candlestick’s close and closes at or around its open.
The Harami Cross indicator is more definite than the basic Harami indicator, and signifies a reversal for the bulls.
The smaller the second candlestick, the stronger is the reversal signal.
The shadows of the second candlestick do not have to be contained within the first candle’s body, though it's preferable if they are.
