Higher highs, higher lows
Market Structure Mastery
The bullish pattern
An uptrend is defined by a repeating pattern: each new high prints above the last high, and each new low prints above the last low. Higher highs and higher lows, in sequence, define bullish structure.
The higher low is the real tell
The higher low is the more important of the two. It shows buyers stepped in before price even reached the old low, proof of urgency and control, not just drifting up.
One swing isn't a trend yet
One higher high alone doesn't confirm a trend. It's the repetition, higher high, higher low, higher high, higher low, that builds real confidence in bullish structure.
