Did you see that candle that looks like a hammer on the chart? It's called Hammer Doji and it's the classic signal that a downtrend might be ending.
What's up with the Doji?
The word comes from Japanese and means “same time” — basically, it is a candle where the price opens and closes at the same level. With no visible body, only the wicks (shadows) long.
When that hammer candlestick appears after a flying dragon (Dragonfly Doji), boom: potential bullish reversal. It's as if the market is saying “we tried to go down but couldn't, now it goes up”.
How to operate this
Wait for confirmation — a strong bullish candle after the Hammer Doji
Entry: Limit buy order a little below the current price ( in case there is a pullback )
Take profit: Based on Ichimoku + Fibonacci (don't improvise)
Don't be greedy — take reasonable profits
The move: This pattern works best when it aligns with other bullish indicators. Candlesticks alone are not enough — combine with Ichimoku, fundamentals, the whole combo.
Note: Hammer Doji ≠ guarantee of an increase. It is an increased probability, nothing more.
