#BreakoutTradingStrategy The hashtag #BreakoutTradingStrategy refers to a momentum-based trading approach that aims to capitalize on price moving beyond key support/resistance levels, often followed by high volume and volatility. This strategy works well across markets—crypto, stocks, forex, and commodities.
🔓 What Is a Breakout?
A breakout occurs when the price moves outside a defined range, such as:
Above resistance = potential bullish breakout
Below support = potential bearish breakout
Breakouts often signal new trends or accelerated moves.
🧠 Core Elements of a Breakout Trading Strategy
✅ Entry Criteria

🛑 Risk Management
Stop-loss just below the breakout point (bullish) or above it (bearish)
