On the profile, you’ll see multiple TPOs stacked in a straight line at the bottom, with no single print tail.
This means sellers did not push strongly enough to exhaust buyers; instead, price just stopped, leaving unfinished business.
Interpretation: A poor low implies the auction is incomplete and the market is likely to return to that area later to "repair" it by testing lower.
Key Difference
- Weak low = location-based weakness (stopped at a known reference, too “obvious”).
- Poor low = structural weakness (improper auction shape, no tail, unfinished business).
