The arrangement of candles on the charts can often times be a signal for a trend change, or a reversal.

Hammer Doji Candlestick

A Hammer Doji is a type of a Doji candle.

“What the heck is a Doji?” you ask?

“Doji” means “same [time]” in the Japanese language

Another Japanese word to add to your dictionary! Doji candles have equal (same) open and close prices. That is why their bodies are nothing but a line. You can’t even distinguish their color.

Depending on the length of the shadows of a Doji candle, it can be put into different categories such as the “Long-Legged Doji,” the “Dragon Fly Doji,” and the “Gravestone Doji.”

Doji Candlestick Patterns

Doji Spirit: A Doji by itself is neither bullish nor bearish. But when it comes after other candles, it can have very powerful interpretations.

One of those interpretations is the Hammer Doji, and is spotted when a Dragon Fly Doji is followed by a strong bullish candlestick.

A Hammer Doji is a bullish reversal pattern that happens during a downtrend. It kind of looks like a hammer that is trying to “hammer-out” a bottom on the chart, and it signals that the price could start rising soon.

How to Make Some Pips off a Hammer Doji

As we have talked about this in our IDDA approach, this candlestick pattern is not necessarily a concrete bullish signal on its own. It rather helps us confirm a bullish scenario based on other IDDA points, such as a bullish Ichimoku scenario bundled with bullish fundamentals.

Bitcoin Drops Entering 2026: Is It Still Worth Investing? The Answer Most Investors Miss

January 2, 2026 No Comments

Bitcoin has entered 2026 under pressure, with prices pulling back after a volatile period that left many investors questioning whether the opportunity has passed. Headlines are once again split between fear and optimism, with some calling the recent drop a warning sign and others viewing it as a healthy reset.

Unlike speculative assets that rely on constant growth stories, Bitcoin’s relevance continues to rest on its role as a scarce, decentralised digital asset that operates outside traditional financial systems. The key question for investors now is not whether Bitcoin will remain volatile – but whether this moment represents risk, opportunity, or something most investors misunderstand.

December 12, 2025 No Comments

Western Digital Corporation (WDC) has been on a tear, its stock price soaring over 270% year-to-date as of early December 2025.

This massive growth isn’t just hype; it’s fueled by a perfect storm of events, including the strategic spin-off of its flash business, SanDisk, and an insatiable global demand for data storage driven by the AI revolution.

As a now “pure-play” Hard Disk Drive (HDD) manufacturer, WDC is uniquely positioned as the landlord for the internet’s exploding data. But with such a meteoric rise, is there still room for growth, or is the stock overheated?
