Hammers are some of the most popular and easily recognisable patterns in candlestick analysis. They can be a powerful and bullish reversal signal. The hammer is probably best defined as being a signal that comes at the end of a phase of selling pressure.
After the open, the price falls to hit a new low, before a strong intraday rally and a price close at or around the high of the candlestick. The price is “hammering” out a recovery form a low. The price then continues higher in the next candlestick and the reversal takes hold.
