Lower Low

A lower low is a trough on a price chart that falls below the previous trough. Each time sellers push the price beneath its last low point, technical analysts take it as evidence that selling pressure still dominates. A sequence of lower lows together with lower highs defines a downtrend in trend analysis, typical of a bear market. Traders often wait for the pattern to break, for example when the price forms a higher low instead, before treating a fall as over, since that can mark the start of a reversal. A lower low on rising volume is generally read as stronger confirmation than one on thin trading. The pattern describes past price action only and does not predict how far a decline will go; sharp moves in crypto markets often break through apparent lows and then recover within hours.
