Retest
A retest happens when price returns to test a level it previously broke before continuing.
Quick take
Price returns to a broken level to confirm it.
Keep this in mind every time you see retest on the chart — context is everything.
Did You Know?
Waiting for a retest is usually a higher-probability entry than chasing the initial breakout candle.
Common Beginner Mistake
Assuming every breakout will retest. Sometimes price runs without looking back and you miss the move.
