Market Structure

Higher Low

(HL)

A swing low above the prior swing low. The 'defended' side of a bullish trend.

How it's used correctly

HLs are where bullish trend traders look for entries on pullbacks, especially with confluence (FVG, OB, sweep).

Common mistake

Buying a HL without confirmation. The HL is the zone — wait for an LTF MSS or rejection candle inside it before entering.
