Inverted Hammer

BullishReversal1 candleReliability:

Small body at the bottom, long upper shadow, after a downtrend — a bullish reversal that needs confirmation.

Description

Price tries to rally hard intraday but is pulled back to close near the open, leaving a long upper shadow, at the end of a decline.

Market psychology

Buyers begin testing strength; though pushed back, the attempt signals selling pressure is weakening.

How to trade

Wait for a bullish confirmation candle before buying; stop-loss below the inverted hammer's low.

Confirmation

The next bullish candle closes above the body; without confirmation the signal is weak.
