3 Bar Hammer Reversal
Yesterday you may have seen Fintwit buzzing over “the hammer forming”. If you don’t know what that is, here are a couple of graphics to help explain. Hammers tend to form after bullish or bears runs. So yesterday, the bears had been in control with multiple days of selling. Yesterday, with price still deeply red, the bulls stepped in driving price higher. On the candle this is shown by a long shadow below the body of the candle. The 3 bar reversal set up is as follows. Red candle in a downtrend, Hammer bar, then a green bar today confirming the hammer reversal. In candle stick charting and interpretation, there usually needs to be that follow up bar for confirmation. Particularly nimble and aggressive traders often buy the hammer bar and set a tight stop when they see the hammer forming and do not wait for confirmation.
Swing Trade Set Up Idea
$MCD
McDonald’s is backtesting its breakout level and 20ema. THe set up is an objective long against $215 with a stop jst below.
Twitter has held up remarkably well and is looking bullish as price forms a base at $39. Not sure I want a tech long into the teeth of a tech sell off but from a chart perspective, looks very good.
