Most beginners lose money by chasing breakouts too early…
Let’s fix that with a step-by-step strategy that helps you trade like a sniper, not a victim 🧠

🔹 Step 1: What Is a Breakout?
A breakout happens when price pushes above resistance or drops below support after being stuck in a range.
But here’s the trap:
🐍 70% of breakouts fail before the real move begins.
That’s why smart traders wait for confirmation.

🔹 Step 2: Identify the Range or Key Level
1. Zoom out to 1H or 4H timeframe
2. Mark the resistance (top of the range)
3. Mark the support (bottom of the range)
4. Wait for price to get closer to one of these levels
📌 Bonus Tip: Look for multiple touches of the same level — the more tests, the more explosive the breakout.

🔹 Step 3: Watch for Liquidity Grabs (Fake Breakouts)
Before real breakouts, price often fakes out retail traders:
• Price wicks above resistance to trigger buys
• Then drops back inside the range → trapping traders 😨
That’s called a stop hunt or fakeout.
✅ Solution: Don’t trade the first breakout candle!

🔹 Step 4: Real Breakout Confirmation Strategy
Here’s your sniper setup 👇
1. Wait for break + close above resistance on high volume
2. Then wait for retest of the broken level
3. If price rejects the level and gives a strong candle → enter
4. SL: Just below the breakout level
5. TP: Use next key resistance or a measured move (range height)
💡 Tip: If the retest fails and price drops below again — cancel the trade! Patience protects capital.

🔹 Bonus: Breakout of Trendlines or Patterns
Breakouts don’t just happen at horizontal levels. You can apply the same strategy to:
• 🔺 Triangle breakouts
• ⬜ Range breakouts
• 📉 Downtrend breakout (bullish)
• 📈 Uptrend breakdown (bearish)
The steps are always:
Break → Retest → Reaction → Enter

🔍 Example: ETH Breakout Trade
• ETH stuck between $3,650–$3,800
• Breaks above $3,800 → closes strong on volume
• Retests $3,800 and bounces
• Enter long at $3,820
• SL = $3,770
• TP = $3,950
📊 Risk-to-reward: 1:2+ — Clean and simple ✅
