-Price is in contraction and building shelf at the high - buyers will freak out as stops start getting run and fall back into previous swing - buyers from last low want to step up and buyers that missed the last run will pile in at the higher low. - stop is under known buyers that held and entry is at buyers that lifted price to new high - this is based on principles of supply and demand, buyers and sellers and contraction and expansion - this may work or it may not.
