Piercing Line

A bullish two-candle reversal pattern where a bearish candle is followed by a bullish candle that opens below the prior low and closes above the midpoint of the first candle's body.

Example

After a prolonged downtrend, a piercing line pattern appeared at the $150 support level, prompting the trader to enter a long position with a stop below the pattern's low.
