The bullish harami functions much like the bearish one: about randomly. It is supposed to be a bullish reversal in theory, and testing shows that it actually works that way, too, but only 53% of the time. With a frequency rank of 25, you can find it as often as canned goods in a grocery store. The overall performance rank is 38th, where 1 is best out of 103 candles, so it shows mediocre performance after the breakout.

 Bullish Harami
|
The bullish harami candlestick functions almost randomly with reversals taking a slight edge over continuations by 53% to 47%. That means you probably can't guess the breakout direction with any accuracy. The frequency rank is 25, which means the candle pattern should be plentiful in a historical price series. The overall performance rank of 38 is decent but not outstanding.
The best average move 10 days after the breakout is a rise of 4.05% in a bear market. I consider moves of 6% or higher to be good. The move also gives a 10-day performance rank of 45, which is mid list between 1 (best) and 103 (worst).
| Characteristic | Discussion |
| Number of candle lines | Two. |
| Price trend leading to the pattern | Downward. |
| Configuration | Look for a tall black candle in a downward price trend. The next day a white candle should be nestled within the body of the prior candle. Ignore the shadows. The tops or bottoms of the bodies can be the same price, but not both. |
If you want a few bones from my Encyclopedia of candlestick charts book, here are three to chew on. The pages refer to the book where the tips appear.
This bullish harami, circled in red, appears as a reversal in a short term downtrend. What strikes me first about this picture is the wonderful looking triple top chart pattern. The three peaks (1, 2, and 3) beginning in February near the same price are bearish and price drops after the pattern completes, as predicted by the pattern.
The bullish harami doesn't have much to reverse, does it? The tall black candle speaks of a continued downward price trend but the next day, a white candle appears. The body of the white candle is inside the body of the black candle.
In this example, the bullish harami functions as a bullish reversal of the downtrend when price breaks out upward. However, overhead resistance setup by the prior two peaks stop the upward trust and price collapses again.
