I have mentioned a bullish harami on usd/cad before.
A harami pattern is with low reliability, conservative traders wait for confirmation.
(Also keep in mind monthly candlestick pattern)
Recognition Criteria:
1. The market is in a bearish mood characterized by downtrend.
2. Then we see a long black candlestick.
3. We see a white candlestick on the following day where the small white real body is completely engulfed by the real body of the first day. The shadows (high/low) of the second candlestick are not necessarily contained within the first body, however it's preferable if they are.
