Why is this considered a bearish signal rather than a bullish hammer?

  1. The candle is an anomaly because the effort was low for the result.
  2. It shows significant selling pressure appeared for the first time in the trend.
  3. A Hanging Man candle always signifies a 'No Demand' bar.
  4. It confirms that buyers have completely withdrawn from the market.
