LTF approached the previously identified VRZ Low at ₹292.80 and initially broke below the support zone, creating the impression of a genuine bearish breakdown.
The move attracted aggressive sellers expecting further downside continuation. At first glance, the price action suggested that support had failed and lower levels were likely.
However, the market failed to accept prices below ₹292.80.

2. Reclaiming the VRZ Is Valuable Information
The quick recovery above ₹292.80 revealed that buyers were defending lower prices aggressively.
3. Failed Breakdowns Often Reverse Sharply
Trapped sellers and fresh buyers can produce fast and powerful recoveries.
4. Confirmation Beats Prediction
Predicting the breakdown would have resulted in a poor trade. Waiting for BOF confirmation provided a much higher-probability long setup.
