The first candlestick is referred to as the “mother” with a large real body that embodies the smaller second candlestick, and thus creating the visual of a pregnant mother.

This means without any indicators, oscillators or moving averages, etc.

One should rely on the chart patterns, candle patterns, support and resistance, and so on.

This Bearish Harami should be confirmed with resistance or any other chart or candlestick pattern.

We can see in the chart how after the pattern formation, the prices have gapped down confirming the reversal signaled by this pattern.

2. Trading Harami with Indicators:

In this trading strategy, we will combine the harami with Bollinger bands.

      Hi,

      The Harami cross works just the same as the Harami pattern as explained in the blog.

      The only difference is the formation of the Harami Cross. The first candlestick is the long bodied candlestick and the second candlestick is a Doji.

      Thank you for Reading!
