A bearish engulfing pattern is a two-candlestick reversal pattern that usually appears after an uptrend and signals potential weakness in the stock. In this pattern, the first candle is a small bullish candle followed by a larger bearish candle that completely engulfs the body of the previous candle. This indicates that sellers have taken control after buyers pushed the price higher, leading to strong selling pressure. When this pattern forms near a resistance level or after a strong rally, it often suggests a possible trend reversal or short-term correction in the stock
