Experienced investors all know that the bullish engulfing pattern may seem strong, but in reality, it often fades quickly. Hidden within are key details that are easy to overlook. Today, Brother Liang will analyze a more reliable pattern — the "Piercing Head and Breaking Feet" reversal pattern. As a classic trend reversal signal, its identification method is simple and clear, making it easy for investors to understand and grasp.
Before this pattern appears, the stock price usually undergoes a period of decline or sideways consolidation, often a process where the main force suppresses the price to shake out weak hands or accumulate strength. If it appears at a high level, caution should be exercised.
So, what makes this bullish line special?
First, it often opens lower, forming a "breaking feet" state. This is a common tactic used by the main force to create panic and clear out floating chips, laying the foundation for subsequent rises.
Second, after sufficient accumulation, the main force begins to push higher, with the price breaking through the previous day's bearish line's highest point, forming a "piercing head" pattern. At this point, the lowest point of this bullish line and its highest point will completely cover the previous day's bearish line (including upper and lower shadows).
Third, the longer the bullish line's body, the stronger the main force's bullish intent. Especially mid-to-long bullish lines or limit-up days are most reliable. Meanwhile, trading volume must significantly increase, usually reaching more than twice the average daily volume, to avoid false signals from unvolume-backed reversals. Volume confirmation is an important basis for judging the validity of the pattern.
In addition, besides a single bullish line reversing a single bearish line, there is a shorter-term, more aggressive pattern: multiple bearish lines being fully engulfed by a single bullish line. Its internal logic is consistent with the above points.
This concludes today's sharing. At the end of the article, relevant case illustrations are provided. It is recommended to combine these with actual practice to deepen understanding and apply flexibly.
