Function detectInvertedHammer

detectInvertedHammer(candle, threshold?): SIGNAL_DIRECTION
Detects an Inverted Hammer or Shooting Star candlestick pattern.

These patterns have a small body and a long upper shadow (wick), with little to no lower shadow.
- Inverted Hammer: Appears in a downtrend, suggesting potential bullish reversal
- Shooting Star: Appears in an uptrend, suggesting potential bearish reversal
Both have identical appearance but different context/implications. This function detects the pattern only; trend context should be evaluated separately.
Parameters
- candle: ICandle
  The candle to evaluate.
- threshold: number = 2.0
  Optional threshold for upper shadow to body ratio (default: 2.0).
Returns SIGNAL_DIRECTION
A SIGNAL_DIRECTION: - BULLISH if a bullish Inverted Hammer is detected (bullish candle). - BEARISH if a bearish Shooting Star is detected (bearish candle). - NONE if no pattern is detected.
Example
```
import * as ta from 'chart-patterns';

const signal = ta.CandlestickPatterns.detectInvertedHammer(candle, 2.5);
```
