Every trader dreams of catching a perfect breakout, and this week I came close. I was watching a coin consolidate just below a major resistance level for a few days. The volume was decreasing, and the candles were getting smaller — a sign that a big move was coming. I marked the key level and waited for a clean breakout. When the breakout happened, it was confirmed by a strong bullish candle with high volume. I didn’t chase the move. Instead, I waited for the price to come back and retest the broken resistance. When it did, it formed a bullish engulfing candle. That’s when I entered with a clear stop loss and a target based on the previous swing high. The trade played out beautifully, and I booked profits gradually. This trade reminded me of the power of patience and confirmation. Chasing breakouts can be risky, but waiting for the retest gives you better entries and peace of mind. Strategy and discipline are the true secrets behind every winning trade.
