Breakout
A breakout happens when price moves above resistance or below support with strength.
Quick take
Price punches through a key level with strength.
Keep this in mind every time you see breakout on the chart — context is everything.
Did You Know?
The strongest breakouts usually happen with a clear surge in volume, not on quiet, slow candles.
Common Beginner Mistake
Chasing every breakout. Many fake breakouts trap eager traders right before price snaps back the other way.
