What the inverted hammer is
After a fall, buyers tried to push up. A first sign of interest.
Imagine a kid who keeps losing a game and finally jumps as high as they can. They land back down, but everyone noticed the jump. An inverted hammer is that jump: after a fall, buyers pushed price up high during the candle, even though it slid back before the close.
