The Bullish Harami Pattern: My Trading Revelation

I've been watching this market bleed for days now, and damn if I didn't catch a textbook Bullish Harami pattern yesterday! Let me share what I've learned through some painful trading experiences.

A Bullish Harami isn't just some fancy Japanese candlestick pattern—it's my personal signal that bears might be losing their grip. When I spot one after a nasty downtrend, my pulse quickens.

The setup is simple but powerful: first, you get this massive bearish candle—the market crushing longs (been there, felt that pain). Then, something magical happens—a small bullish candle forms completely within the range of the previous one. The bears suddenly can't push lower!

That first red candle shows the downtrend still has momentum, but the second smaller green one? That's where smart money is quietly positioning. That's where I want in.

I used to ignore these signals, thinking technical analysis was just astrology for traders. But after getting wrecked following mainstream advice and so-called "experts" on trading platforms, I've learned to trust what the charts actually show.

When I see a Bullish Harami now, I start planning my entry. Not blindly—I wait for confirmation, maybe a break above the pattern. These major exchanges don't make money when we profit, remember that.

These patterns work because they capture market psychology—the shift from seller exhaustion to buyer curiosity. In this crypto winter, spotting these reversals early has saved my portfolio more than once.

The traditional exchanges don't want retail traders understanding these patterns. They prefer us chasing pumps and buying tops. Not anymore—at least not for me.

Looking at BTC right now, I'm seeing similar setups forming. Time to pay attention.
