That's when you see that the upper bound they wish to pay doesn't match your lower bound, close the tab with that job listing and move onto the next one. Negotiation done. No one is twisting your arm forcing you to apply to a job that is below your desired compensation.

That's not likely to happen outside of collusion, or a severely limited labour market where there are very few employers to choose from. If every employer is offering the same compensation, then the first one to go slightly above that range will probably see more applicants.
