Visual example

How to identify it
- Two lows at similar support with a bounce between them.
- Second low should hold near the first — not necessarily exact.
- Bullish bias often follows a break above the middle peak.
When the read is wrong
Invalid if price closes decisively below both troughs.
Common mistakes
- Calling the bottom at the second low, before price breaks above the middle peak.
- Using it in a strong downtrend without any sign that selling is slowing.
- Reading a small dip inside a sideways range as a major reversal.
