Whipsaw Engulfing



[Bearish Whipsaw Engulfing]

 1. Cluster (where supply and demand are balanced) near supply.

If the downside break fails to see follow-through selling, frustrated short sellers cover their positions bidding the market up creating a whipsaw. The market advance is exacerbated by the 'wait and see' crowd who come in after most of the cards have been played.  Some examples of the Bull and Bear Trap :
