📍What is a hammer candlestick?
A hammer candlestick is a trend reversal pattern spotted at the bottom of a downtrend.
The pattern looks like a hammer, with a long lower shadow and a small body hence named as hammer candlestick.
Hammer candles can be of any colour – They can be either Green or Red colour.
The lower shadow should be at least two times the height of the real body.
This pattern is characterized by a long lower shadow. It shows that sellers exerted considerable pressure during the session, but buyers stepped in at the end and pushed prices upwards again.
This is a very bullish sign and suggests that the downtrend may be coming to an end.
