Find stocks breaking below a recent chart low during the market session. Explore ChartsWatcher’s recent-low alerts and supported intraday candle intervals.
Understand the trigger
What is Break under recent low?
The break-under-recent-low alert watches for price moving below the latest low formed on the chosen candlestick timeframe. It targets local chart structure rather than requiring a new low for the whole day. ChartsWatcher offers one-, two-, five-, and fifteen-minute intervals for this alert. Its documented calculation session is the regular market, unlike some other alerts that also cover premarket and postmarket activity.
An illustrative example
Break under recent low in practice
Consider a stock with a recent fifteen-minute chart low at $41.20 and an earlier daily low at $40.70. A move beneath $41.20 is an example of breaking a recent low without yet creating a new daily low. The selected interval provides the relevant chart for reviewing that event.
Make it part of your workflow
Catch the event. Keep the context.
Use this alert to keep track of local range deterioration during the regular session. In ChartsWatcher, open the reported symbol on the matching interval and compare the recent-low break with the day’s wider range and latest volume. Pairing it with a near-last-low alert separates an approach to a level from an actual break.
ChartsWatcher brings your chosen alert types and filters into the same alert window. Add the data columns you want to see, then use the connected chart and news tools to explore a matching symbol.
