Bearish Harami Candlestick Alerts
Find bearish harami candle patterns in ChartsWatcher: a green body followed by a smaller red body. Review the sequence on supported intraday timeframes.
Understand the trigger
What is Bearish harami candle?
The bearish harami alert identifies the documented sequence of a green candle body followed by a smaller red candle body. Compared with a bearish engulfing pattern, the second body contracts rather than expands. That shift gives you a specific two-candle formation to review for a possible change in momentum. ChartsWatcher provides one-, two-, five-, and fifteen-minute options, with calculations across regular and extended-hours sessions.
An illustrative example
Bearish harami candle in practice
Suppose a hypothetical five-minute chart shows a large green body and then a noticeably smaller red body. The harami alert brings that sequence to attention. Examining the surrounding chart helps distinguish a brief pause after an upward move from a similar-looking formation inside an already narrow trading range.

Use ChartsWatcher to surface these smaller follow-on candles across the stocks that fit your scanner criteria. Review the preceding green candle, the size of the red body, and the nearby price range together. This keeps a candle-pattern workflow focused on a defined event rather than scanning charts manually for every potential contraction.
