The potential bullish BOF setup developed as HUDCO attempted to recover after trading below the VRZ Low.
Although buyers generated a sharp rebound from the lower levels, the move failed to produce convincing acceptance above ₹186.95.
Price remained around the reversal zone instead of establishing a clear bullish breakout-failure confirmation.
As the reclaim failed to gain sufficient strength, the bullish BOF setup lost validity and the predefined stop loss was triggered.

📉 When price continues struggling around the reversal zone without clear acceptance above it, the bullish setup can quickly lose its edge.
🛡️ Professional traders focus on protecting capital, respecting predefined risk, and waiting for confirmed price action.
