My most recent trade was all about identifying a key breakout level after a long period of accumulation. The asset was ranging sideways for weeks, and many traders had stopped paying attention. But I kept it on my watchlist. On the daily chart, I marked the resistance zone and set alerts. One day, the price started creeping toward that level with rising volume. I zoomed into the 1-hour chart and saw multiple higher lows forming — a clear sign of pressure building. As soon as the breakout candle closed above resistance with a strong volume spike, I entered long. My stop-loss was below the last higher low. The move was explosive. It ran for two days straight, and I managed my exits with trailing stops. The trade showed how patience pays off. Watching a chart for days might seem boring, but being ready when the move happens is key. Many traders forget that most profits come from a few solid trades. This was one of those. Preparation met opportunity, and execution sealed the win. Watch, wait, strike — that’s the rhythm of good trading.
