That\u2019s a hammer\u200a\u2014\u200aa classic sign that selling pressure may have reached its limit, and buyers are stepping back\u00a0in.<\/p>\n 4\ufe0f\u20e3 Three White Soldiers\u00a0: The March of the\u00a0Bulls<\/strong><\/p>\n This bullish reversal pattern features three strong green candles in a row, each closing higher than the last.
