It generally appears at the end of a downtrend, suggesting that the asset’s price has “hammered out” a market bottom and may be poised for a reversal to the upside. 

However, it’s essential to note that no single pattern can guarantee future market performance.

Ethereum’s price performance 

According to data from CoinGecko, the current price of Ethereum stands at $1,628.96, up 0.6% against the US Dollar, but down 0.5% against Bitcoin.

Over the past 24 hours, Ethereum has traded within a range of $1,616.24 to $1,638.91. 

The cryptocurrency maintains a market capitalization of nearly $196 billion, with a 24-hour trading volume exceeding $7.2 billion. 

For those optimistic about Ethereum’s future, the hammer candle could be a welcome sign after weeks of declining prices. However, caution is still advised. Many seasoned traders often seek additional confirmatory signals and take a holistic view of the market before making any investment decisions.
