What is Engulfing Pattern?

As the name suggests, the engulfing pattern is one candlestick that completely engulfs the entire candlestick on its left. This can indicate a change in sentiment which may, in turn, be a sign of possible reversal in the trend momentum. It is mainly used to determine the bullish and bearish patterns of the market, which can occur both in line with the overall trend and counter-trend.
