Hammer
(redirected from go under the hammer)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Idioms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia, Hutchinson 0.04 sec.
Hammer
A price pattern in candlestick charting that occurs when a security trades significantly lower than its opening, but rallies later in the day to close either above or close to its opening price. This pattern forms a hammer-shaped candlestick.



Notes:
A hammer occurs after a security has been declining, possibly suggesting the market is attempting to determine a bottom.

The signal does not mean bullish investors have taken full control of a security, it simply indicates that the bulls are strengthening.
