Many traders enter immediately after a resistance or support breakout…
But professionals do not act until a real confirmation candle appears
↳ Because it gives you the best mix: high success rate + small stop loss + clear target! 📊
🧠 What is the 'confirmation candle'?
It is a candle that comes after the breakout, confirming that the price has indeed breached the level —
And not just an illusory breakout or passing wick 🔍
⸻
✅ Conditions for the confirmation candle:
1️⃣ The body of the candle is large and clear
2️⃣ Closing above resistance (or below support)
3️⃣ Trading volume is higher than average
4️⃣ The price does not return to the previous range afterwards
⸻
💡 Steps to implement the strategy:
1. Identify a clear resistance or support level
2. Wait for a breakout candle
3. Do not enter until you see a confirmation candle closing outside the range
4. Enter the trade at the beginning of the next candle
5. Set the stop loss within the previous range
6. The first target = the width of the broken range
⸻
📊 Practical example:
• The price of $LINK was moving between 6.00 and 6.30
• A breakout candle appeared at 6.35 but it had a long wick and weak volume
• After 30 minutes, a real confirmation candle appeared (long body + strong volume) and closed at 6.42
↳ After entering, the price rose to 6.85 by +7% within hours!
⸻
🧱 Golden points:
🔸 This method protects you from false breakouts
🔸 Can be used in any timeframe — but best at 1H or 4H
🔸 Very effective in high liquidity currencies like BTC and ETH
