🔹 Intro / Overview
In this idea, we focus on the Hammer candlestick pattern — both Bullish and Bearish variations.
The Hammer is a powerful reversal signal formed with a small body, a long shadow, and defined highs/lows.
When combined with EMA High–Low Band Confirmation and swing structure, it creates rule-based trading opportunities with clear validation and devalidation rules.
