Lower highs, lower lows

Market Structure Mastery

The bearish mirror

A downtrend mirrors the uptrend: each new low prints below the last low, and each new high prints below the last high. Lower highs and lower lows, in sequence, define bearish structure.

The lower high is the real tell

The lower high is the key tell here. It shows sellers stepped in before price even reached the old high, proof they're not waiting around to defend new ground.

Same rule, need repetition

Just like an uptrend, one lower low alone doesn't confirm a downtrend. Confidence builds from the repeating pattern, not a single swing.
