🔍 What is a Matching Low Pattern?
The Matching Low candlestick pattern is a bullish support confirmation pattern where two candles form nearly the same low level.
👉 It signals that sellers are unable to push prices below support, and buyers may begin gaining strength.
📈 Structure of the Matching Low Pattern
The pattern usually consists of two candles:
- 🔴 First bearish candle during a downtrend
- 🔴 or 🟢 Second candle reaches nearly the same low as the first candle but fails to break lower
👉 The repeated rejection at the same level confirms strong support.
💡 Psychology Behind the Pattern
