Methodology
Four approaches to deciding what to buy or sell.
Small body sitting near the top of the candle's range with a long lower wick at least twice the body's height. Little or no upper wick.
Bullish·Bullish reversal·1-candle·Requires a prior downtrend
What it means
Sellers pushed price down during the session but buyers stepped in aggressively and pushed it back to near the open. Demand zone defended.
Confirmation to wait for
Next session should close above the hammer's body. Higher volume on the hammer adds weight.
Failure mode
Without a real prior downtrend it's just a 'wick-low' candle, not a reversal signal. Hammer body colour matters less than the long lower wick.
body in top half of range (min(open,close) ≥ midpoint) AND lower wick ≥ 2 × body AND upper wick ≤ 30% × range. Plus prior 5-day downtrend (close 5 days ago ≥ today × 1.02).
