Definitely the bullish hammer and it's bearish mirror, the shooting star.

They tell you a lot about market psychology. The price has been auctioning lower but gets sharply rejected at a certain level to close higher (for a perfect hammer) or lower (for a perfect shooting star). A doji represents indecision whereas a hammer/shooting star represents a more decisive reversal.
