The Piercing Line
The Piercing Line candlestick charting pattern is a bullish reversal signal.
As the name suggests, the second white candle "pierces" into the prior first black candle.

Since the Piercing Line candlestick formation is a bullish reversal signal, it must come after a downtrend.
Identification:
- First day is a long black day
- Second day is a white day with an open below previous days low
- Second days close is within but above the midpoint of the first days body.The greater the penetration of the white body's close into the prior black body, the greater the chance for a bottom.
What it signals:
In a downtrend the market gaps open, but rallies strong to close above the previous days midpoint. This pattern suggests an opportunity for the bulls to enter the market and support the trend reversal. The-Piercing Line pattern is the opposite of the Dark Cloud Cover.
