Structure

Lower lows

A swing low beneath the previous meaningful low.

What to notice

Lower lows alongside lower highs can describe bearish structure.

The context that matters

A fast dip below a low followed by an immediate recovery may be a failed breakdown, not sustained weakness.

Common mistake

Classifying a wick through a prior low as a clean break without checking the close.

Try it on a chart

Record whether the break held for one, two and five candles.
