Bullish Engulfing: Same Shape, Different Context #Shorts

Bullish Engulfing Patterns: Context Matters
These charts show the same bullish engulfing geometry. Do they tell the same story? The usual context is after declining prices. Now compare that with the second chart. The shape can remain identical while its relevance changes. Read the trend and location first. A familiar name alone does not establish a directional edge.
