When there is pressure from buyers to push an asset's price up, the inverted hammer candlestick pattern (or inverse hammer) emerges on a chart. It frequently appears at the bottom of a downtrend, indicating the possibility of a positive reversal. The inverted hammer pattern is named by its shape, which resembles that of an upside-down hammer. Look for a large top shadow, a short lower shadow, and a small body to identify an inverted hammer candle.

The candlestick pattern's extended top shadow suggests that purchasers drove prices up at some point during the period when the candle was created, but were met with selling pressure, which drove prices back down to close around where they opened. Traders generally look for a higher start and close on the next period after seeing an inverted hammer to confirm it as a bullish indicator.

• When a stock is in a downturn, an inverted hammer appears as a single candle.
• When a price opens at a given level and then rapidly rises, the 'Inverted Hammer' is produced.
• It doesn't matter what color the candle is — it may be red or green.
• When the candle emerges near crucial levels of support, it produces stronger indications.

A candle with a little lower body and a lengthy top shadow that is at least twice as large as the smaller lower body makes up the pattern. The candle's body should be near the low end of the trading range, and it should have little or no lower shadow.

Consider the following factors to establish that the candlestick pattern is "Inverted hammer."

• The market is on a downward trend.
• The first candle is a tall bearish downtrend candle.
• Second candle is a small-bodied red or green candle towering higher shadow and little or no lower shadow.
• The color of the candle is unimportant.

The Inverted Hammer is a bullish reversal indication following a downtrend. It informs traders that bulls are now prepared to purchase the stock at lower prices. Following the downtrend, buyers in the market exert pressure on stock prices to rise. It advises sellers to quit the market as a bullish reversal is possible, and purchasers to join their purchasing positions as the bullish trend is likely to begin.

• Price activity is represented by the Inverted Hammer, which is a single candle. Without evaluating further supporting evidence/indicators, relying just on a single candle to reverse market momentum might lead to sub-optimal results.
• The Inverted Hammer Candle may indicate a brief uptick in positive price activity, but not a longer-term trend reversal. This might occur if purchasers are unable to maintain purchasing pressure in the face of a strong downward trend.

Only trade this candle in a downward retracement of the core rally for the best results. The existing current drags price along to higher ground when price breaks out upward from the candle pattern. You should avoid relying on this candle to operate as a reversal of the fundamental downtrend since there's a good probability price may rise up, but only for a short time.

• In a bull market, waiting for price to close higher after the candle ends indicates a reversal just 57 percent of the time.
• The trader should wait for the following candle after the 'inverted hammer' candle has formed on the chart. The pattern will collapse if the following candle is red and the price falls below the 'inverted hammer.' There should be no deals made.
• If the following candle is green and the price rises, the trader should wait until the price rises above the 'inverted hammer' high. This confirms that the buyers have the upper hand, and the price may rise.
