Hook reversal pattern is a candlestick pattern which also found in a bar chart. This pattern can be either bullish or bearish. Bullish hook reversal pattern is generally found after a downfall and it indicates a possible bullish reversal.

Bearish hook reversal pattern is generally found after an upward movement which indicates the possibility of bearish reversal.

Formation:

This pattern consists of two bars or candlesticks. In bullish hook reversal pattern, a bar or candle forms inside the range of the previous bar after a downward movement. In the downward movement bars form lower lows but suddenly one bar creates both a higher low and lower high compared to the previous candle.

These two bars are known as bullish hook reversal pattern. Here is an example of a bullish hook reversal pattern.

Trading Hook Reversal Pattern:

Hook reversal patterns can be traded in different ways. There are many indicators and strategies that are suitable for this pattern. The most popular trading strategy is to trade this pattern with trend line or support-resistance. For long positions, traders generally look for bullish hook reversal pattern near or at support line.

This bullish hook reversal pattern near or at support line indicates that the currency pair is bouncing back from the support line. A stop loss should be placed a little lower than the support line. Take profit target should be determined by finding resistance line.

Here is an example chart of the bullish hook reversal pattern with trend line which is acting as a support line and resistance.
