What Exactly Is an Inverted Hammer Candle?
An inverted hammer candle is a type of price candlestick found on a stock chart.
Stock charts show how a stock's price has changed over time, and that price activity can be conveyed in different ways. One of those ways is with price candlesticks, or price candles, which are also sometimes referred to as price bars.
Each price candle represents a pre-specified period of time, such as one day or one hour. Candles give information that might be pertinent to an investor, including the open price, close price, high price, and low price of the period.
An inverted hammer candle is a special type of price candle that has the following characteristics:
- No lower wick - The body of an inverted hammer candle is at the very bottom of the candlestick. This means that the low of the period is equal to either the open or closing price.
- Short candle body - Typically, inverted hammer candles have short bodies that take up less than a quarter of the entire price candle's height.
- Long upper wick - The upper wick of the price candle, which extends upward from the short body, is relatively long.
These characteristics give the candlestick the appearance of a hammer that's upside down, or an inverted hammer.
That image is a graphical icon that gives an idea visually of what an inverted hammer candle looks like.
You can see that the body of the candle, whose height represents the difference between the open price and close price, is at the very bottom of the candle.
It has a short body and long upper wick. It looks very roughly like a hammer or mallet that's upside down.
