Two constructed paths compare a defended higher low with a break and failed recovery. The buying plan has no shown trade outcome.

In the source lesson, price falls to 100 and then reaches a new high at 114. That makes 100 the higher low behind the latest advance. Selecting it before the next decline gives us a fixed place to judge the response. Moving the reference after each new candle would change the idea being examined.
Why buying might return
Someone who missed the rally may see a decline as another opportunity. Existing holders may add near an area that worked before. Other holders may take profit, while new sellers may expect a reversal. Candles cannot separate those motives.
What we can see is whether buying returns strongly enough to hold the area and make progress away from it. A slower decline may be interesting, but it doesn't guarantee demand. A fast red candle also doesn't prove that the wider rise has ended.
The first bounce from a reference gives an observation. This lesson asks for more before the buying entry: a separate return that keeps the low intact, followed by a completed bullish close through the nearby rebound high. The plan has defined what renewed progress must look like.
What waiting changes
Waiting can put the entry above the cheapest available price. The rally may also leave without making the return this rule requires. In exchange, the trader has seen buyers defend the area and clear a local obstacle before committing risk.
In the illustration, that completed response gives an entry at 104. The stop at 99 lies below the defended low. The earlier high at 114 is the planned target, so 5 units of price risk face 10 units of possible reward, or 2R before costs. The earlier high remains somewhere selling could return.
Those numbers describe the example's structure. They don't supply a universal stop distance, and reaching the stop would invalidate this entry premise even if price later rallied from lower down. The lesson ends at the plan without showing a realized win.
Read failure with the same care
The comparison path closes below 100 and then recovers towards it. When that recovery stalls beneath the area, the earlier reason to buy has weakened. Holders may use the bounce to leave, or new sellers may act on the failure. These remain possible explanations for the visible response.
A broken low isn't an automatic short. Price can recover the area. A smaller timeframe can also weaken while a broader rise stays intact. Any short needs its own trigger, failure point and room to a plausible destination. Sometimes the evidence only justifies waiting.
The source video, published October 20, uses two constructed paths to explain the decision. It doesn't establish how often either path occurs or whether this entry rule has positive expectancy. For the opposite question, when a rally sits inside falling swings, read trending or just bouncing.
