  • Two consecutive candlesticks with identical or nearly identical lows

  3. Day 2: Bears try again, hitting the SAME low
  4. Day 2 Rejection: Buyers step in again – “not going lower!”

  • Strong support level discovered – buyers are organized
  • Bears tested the low twice and failed both times
  • Value buyers are stepping in at this precise level
  • Market has found its “fair value” floor
  • Selling pressure is being absorbed consistently
