✅Inverted Hook Pattern
The inverted hook pattern is a short-term Japanese candlestick formation that signals a rapid trend reversal or a price pullback. It is a popular countertrend pattern among swing traders #trading and scalpers due to its high frequency on lower-timeframe charts. In traditional candlestick analysis, it is a two-candle pattern very similar to the Harami or the Engulfing Pattern, but with specific conditions regarding the highs and lows.
How it forms: After a series of upward moves, the first candle is strongly bullish. The second candle opens near the previous high but fails to surpass it, then falls sharply and closes below the body of the first candle.
The key: Its high is lower than that of the previous candle, and its low is higher, leaving it trapped or hooked within the previous candle’s structure and showing that buyers have immediately failed.
