Piercing line: after a decline, a long down body, then an up candle opening below its close and closing above its midpoint (but below its open)
Dark cloud cover: after a rise, the mirror
midpoint = (104.77 + 104.11) ÷ 2 = 104.44 · second close 104.55 > 104.44
Close past the far end of the first body and it is engulfing; stop short of the midpoint and it has no name. The midpoint is the line between the two.
After a decline: first body 80.0 → 78.0. Second candle opens 77.6 and closes 78.8. Name it.
