IThe "Breakout" strategy means:
\u003e "Enter a buy or sell trade when the price breaks a significant level on the chart."
In other words: we wait for the price to move out of a calm or fluctuating state (narrow range) and break a resistance or support level, and we enter the market in the same direction as this breakout.

🧱 Important Levels: Support and Resistance
Support: is a price level that prevents the price from falling further. (Floor)
Resistance: is a price level that prevents the price from rising further. (Ceiling)
Simple Example:
If the price of a currency is moving between $90 and $100 for days,
Then suddenly it breaks $100 and rises,
This is called: Bullish Breakout.

📈 Steps to Implement the Strategy
1. Define the Range:
Look for an area where the price moves between a support and resistance level for a period (called consolidation).
2. Draw the Lines:
Use technical analysis tools to draw the resistance line (above) and the support line (below).
3. Wait for the Breakout:
Do not enter the trade immediately; wait for one (or more) candle(s) to confirm that the price has clearly broken one of the lines.
4. Enter the Trade:
If the price breaks the resistance upwards → Buy entry.
If the price breaks the support downwards → Sell entry.
5. Define the Stop Loss:
Place it below the resistance level (in case of buying), or above the support (in case of selling).
6. Define the Target (Take Profit):
You can place it based on:
Length of the previous range (the difference between support and resistance).
Or based on Fibonacci ratios.
Or through other technical signals.

📊 Additional Confirmation Tools (to increase accuracy)
Trading Volume:
If the breakout occurs with an increase in volume → Strong signal.
Indicators such as:
RSI (to avoid entering during saturation).
MACD (to confirm the trend).
Moving Averages (to support the overall trend).

⚠️ Important Tips
Not all breakouts are real; most of them are false (false breakout), so momentum should be monitored at the breakout, and it is better to wait for a retest of the broken level before entering.
