A downtrend is clear in Unity Software Inc. (U) lately. Although the share has lost 13.8% in the past week, it could be witness to a trend removal because a hammer graphic pattern was formed in its last trade session. This may mean that the bulls have been able to combat the bears to help find the stock to find support.
Although the formation of a hammer pattern is a technical indication of approaching a soil with potential exhaustion of sales pressure, increasing optimism among Wall Street analysts on the future income of this company is a solid fundamental factor that improves the outlook for a trend domination for the shares.
This is one of the popular price patterns in Kandelaar. A small difference between the opening and final prices is a small candle organ, and a higher difference between the low point of the day and the open or close forms a long lower wick (or vertical line). The length of the lower wick is at least twice the length of the real body, the candle looks like a ‘hammer’.
In simple terms, during a downward trend, with bears with absolute control, a stock usually opens lower compared to the close of the previous day and closes again. On the day that the hammer pattern is formed, while retaining the downward trend, the stock makes a new low point. After finally found support at the low point of the day, however, a part of the purchase interest is created, causing the shares to push up to close the session near or slightly above the opening price.
When it occurs on the bottom of a downward trend, this pattern indicates that the bears may have lost control of the price. And the success of bulls to stop falling further indicates a potential trend removal.
Hammerkaars can perform at every time frame-such as a minute, daily, weekly and used by both short-term and long-term investors.
Like every technical indicator, the hammer graphic pattern has its limitations. In particular, because the strength of a hammer depends on the placement on the graph, it must always be used in combination with other bullish indicators.
