The red inverted hammer: The signal that every trader must know

In technical analysis, the red inverted hammer is that pattern that appears when the market is touching bottom after a prolonged fall. What's the idea? Sellers tried to follow through but buyers entered strongly and pushed the price up, although they ultimately closed below the opening.

Why does it matter?

A small red body + a long upper shadow = rejection signal. Sellers could not maintain control. It is like a warning that the floor is firm and likely to bounce.

How to operate with this

The basics:

• It must appear after a real fall (not in the middle of nothing)
• Look for key support levels or critical zones
• The RSI in oversold + inverted hammer = powerful combo

The golden rule: Don't trade solely based on the pattern. Wait for the next candle to close upwards and confirm the change in direction. That’s what separates the savvy trader from the beginner.

Risk management: Stop loss below the minimum of the candle. No exceptions.

In crypto

In Bitcoin and other cryptos, this pattern works especially well on 4H or daily timeframes, when the market has been falling for days and suddenly this signal appears at a historical support level. Verify it with other indicators before moving capital.

Remember: no pattern is 100% safe, but combined with confluence (support + RSI + pattern) significantly increases your chances of success.
