Hammer Candlestick Pattern

The Hammer candlestick pattern typically forms at the bottom of a downtrend, signaling a potential trend reversal. This pattern suggests that despite initial selling pressure, strong bullish momentum emerges, driving the price back up and forming the distinctive hammer shape. When a hammer appears, it often indicates an increased likelihood of an upward price movement in the near term.

Inverted Hammer Pattern

The Inverted Hammer is a bullish reversal candlestick pattern characterized by a small body and a long upper shadow. It typically appears at the bottom of a downtrend, suggesting that buyers are starting to challenge sellers. While the initial selling pressure pushes the price down, strong buying interest later drives it back up—forming the inverted hammer.

Bullish Engulfing Pattern

The bullish engulfing pattern is a two-candle reversal formation where a small bearish candle is completely overshadowed by a subsequent larger bullish candle, typically appearing at a downtrend's end. This pattern indicates weakening selling pressure and growing buying momentum, often foreshadowing a potential trend reversal.

Morning Star Pattern

Evening Star Pattern is a three-candle bullish reversal formation appearing at downtrend bottoms. It begins with a long bearish candle (panic selling), followed by a small-bodied star (market indecision), and completes with a long bullish candle (buyer takeover). This pattern signals weakening bearish momentum and potential trend reversal.

Three White Soldiers

This bullish formation consists of three consecutive long-bodied green candles following a downtrend, signaling strong buying momentum. The pattern's reliability increases with larger candle bodies - the more substantial each bullish candle closes, the stronger the confirmation of a sustained upward trend reversal.
