STI opens higher but closed lower, it was a 2nd consecutive down trend in STI. But still STI maintain itself above 3200 mark.
STI formed a candlestick pattern called “Bullish Harami” A bullish Harami occurs when there is a large bearish red candle on Day 1 followed by a smaller bearish or bullish candle on Day 2. Again, the most important aspect of the bullish Harami is that prices gapped up on Day 2 and price was held up and unable to move lower back to the bearish close of Day 1.”
