Inverted Hammer candlestick is a pattern that appears on a chart when there is a buyer’s pressure for pushing the price of the stocks upwards.

This is a reversal candlestick pattern that appears at the bottom of a downtrend and signals a potential bullish reversal.

This candlestick pattern gets its name from an inverted hammer in real life.

Formation of Inverted Hammer:

This candlestick pattern has a long shadow at the top and there is no shadow at the bottom.

The length of the long shadow is usually the twice of the height of the real body of the candlestick as shown below:

This candlestick is formed when bullish traders start again to gain confidence after sellers have pushed the prices downwards.

The upper shadow is formed when the bulls try to push the price up whereas the lower part of the shadow is formed by the bears, who try to resist the higher price.

However, the pressure by the bulls is strong enough to close at a higher price.

What does Inverted Hammer tell you?

The Inverted Hammer is a signal of bullish reversal after a downtrend.

It tells the traders that the bulls are now willing to buy the stock at the fallen prices. After the downtrend, there is pressure from the buyers in the market to raise the stock prices.

It tells the sellers in the market to exit as they may be a bullish reversal and tells the buyers to enter their buying position as the bullish trend is about to start.

But remember to confirm this signal with other technical indicators as it may sometimes fall signals.

You can also wait for the next trading day to confirm the beginning of the bullish trend.

If in the next trading session the opening price is more than the closing price of the inverted hammer candlestick then you can enter the buy position.
