#BreakoutTradingStrategy

Here's a breakdown of the strategy:

1. Identifying Support and Resistance Levels:

The first step is to identify key horizontal (or sometimes diagonal trendline) levels where the price has previously found difficulty moving above (resistance) or below (support). These levels represent areas where buying or selling pressure has historically been strong enough to halt or reverse price movement.

2. Spotting Consolidation:

Breakouts often occur after a period of consolidation, where the price trades within a relatively tight range. This indicates a balance between buyers and sellers, building up pressure for a significant move. Chart patterns like triangles (symmetrical, ascending, descending), flags, pennants, and rectangles are common consolidation patterns that often precede a breakout.
