Understanding the 5 Minute Bearish Engulfing Alert

This alert signals the appearance of a bearish engulfing pattern on a traditional 5-minute candlestick chart. Components of a bearish engulfing pattern include:

• The first candlestick is typically a green or bullish candlestick, indicating an upward price movement

• The second candlestick is a red or bearish candlestick, indicating a downward price movement

• The bearish candlestick "engulfs" the bullish one, meaning it opens below and closes above the previous candlestick

This pattern often signifies a shift in market sentiment from bullish to bearish, as sellers have taken control and pushed the price lower.

Quality Column

The quality value on a scan using the "5 Minute Bearish Engulfing" represents the grade based on how closely the stock chart matches the ideal shape of the stock pattern. 0% would mean that there was no match at all. Of course, if a stock pattern is this poor a match, then we are unlikely to report an alert. 100% would be an ideal match. Again, this would be an ideal and extreme case. Few if any alerts come close to 100%.
