Higher Lows

Also called: higher low, higher-low

When a stock pulls back and holds above the prior low on the weekly chart, showing that buyers are getting more aggressive and sellers are losing control. Each higher low is a piece of evidence that the trend has changed because in a downtrend every bounce gets sold into and makes a lower low, so when that pattern breaks it means something.

On the Chart

Buying in Bases**Base anatomy.** The right side is what matters to me. I read higher lows as buyers stepping in earlier and drying volume as selling pressure easing. My preferred entry is where the stop can live right under the most recent higher low.
Character Change**APP (AppLovin).** All three pieces of a character change on the weekly chart. 1: Huge volume surge with a strong move showing a change in participation. 2: Higher low after a long downtrend. 3: First moving average respect giving me a low-risk entry.

I entered on the gap but it got extended quickly and I got stopped out, which was the correct call, except the thesis hadn't changed because character changes almost always produce a higher low after the initial move rather than just rolling back over, so that was what I was watching for.
