Hammer after a decline
A hammer (long lower shadow, small body near the high) after price fell below its 20 EMA.
- What it is for
- Sellers pushed price down but buyers took it back: a possible bottom.
- Rule
- Buy (long) on 1h bars when (cs hammer above 0) and (close below e20) and (e20 below e20 5 bars ago). Stop: beyond the 2-bar swing plus 0.2%. Target: 2 × the risk (stop distance). Exit after 15 bars at the latest.
