Harami Cross

The Bearish Harami Cross is a two-line bearish reversal pattern. The first candle encompasses the second, being a Doji candle, including shadows.

The first line of the pattern can be any white candle that appears as a long line. White Spinning Tops are not accepted. The second line is a Doji candle that has two shadows that form a cross.

The Bearish Harami Cross appears in an uptrend and predicts its reversal. Patterns should be confirmed on the next closest candles. A Doji candle that appears as a second line indicates indecision in the market. Interestingly, in order for the pattern to be recognized as valid, its first line must be a long white candle, which could become an important support zone. For this reason, traders should be careful when such a pattern forms on the chart.
