#BreakoutTradingStrategy ## 🚀 What is Breakout Trading?
It is a strategy that consists of **entering the market when the price breaks an important level**, such as a resistance or support, with the expectation that the movement will continue in that direction.

### 📊 Key levels that are broken
- **Resistance**: If the price breaks above, an upward movement is expected.
- **Support**: If the price breaks below, a decline is anticipated.
- **Trend lines**: These are also used as breakout points.
- **Technical patterns**: Triangles, flags, rectangles, etc.

### 📈 How is it executed?
1. **Identification of the level**: A level that has been tested several times is observed.
2. **Confirmation with volume**: A breakout with high volume is more reliable.
3. **Entry**: Enter in the direction of the breakout.
4. **Stop Loss**: Place it just outside the broken range to limit losses.
5. **Take Profit**: Defined according to the projection of the pattern or risk/reward ratio.

### ⚠️ Beware of false breakouts
- Sometimes the price briefly breaks a level and then returns to the range. This is called a **"false breakout"** or *fakeout*.
- To avoid them, many traders wait for a **confirmation** (such as a candle close outside the range or a successful retest of the broken level).

### 🧠 Key tips
- Use higher time frames to identify more reliable breakouts.
- Combine with indicators like RSI, MACD, or moving averages for greater validation.
- Don't trade solely on the breakout: analyze the market context.
