CDLINVERTEDHAMMER

Summary

Single-candle pattern: a small real body with a long upper shadow and little-to-no lower shadow that gaps down from the prior candle. Bullish reversal signal. A hit (+100) flags a potential bullish reversal.

Notes

Does not verify the preceding downtrend that the pattern classically assumes; it only checks the gap down from the immediately preceding candle.
