WHIRLPOOL
is currently trading at its 2018 low levels, indicating a significant downtrend in the stock's price over the past few years. However, the recent formation of a hammer candlestick pattern suggests a potential reversal in the downward trend. Yesterday's hammer candlestick, followed by today's confirmation, indicates that buyers have stepped in to support the stock at these levels, potentially signaling a shift in sentiment. The hammer candlestick pattern is characterized by a small body with a long lower wick, indicating that despite a period of selling pressure, buyers were able to push the price back up, typically closing near or above the open. This pattern is considered bullish when it appears after a downtrend, as it suggests that sellers may have exhausted their momentum and that buyers are starting to gain control.
