**🚀 #BreakoutTradingStrategy: How to Catch Big Moves Without Getting Faked Out**

Breakout trading is a high-reward strategy – but only if you avoid traps. Here’s the professional playbook:

### **1. Identify Key Levels**

✔ **Horizontal Resistance/Support** (e.g., BTC at $72K ATH)

✔ **Trendlines** (rising wedges, descending channels)

✔ **Volume Spikes** (breakouts need confirmation)

### **2. Wait for Confirmation**

✔ **3%+ candle close above resistance** (no wicks!)

✔ **Volume 2x average** = real breakout (not a fakeout)

### **3. Enter Smart**

✔ **Buy retests** (e.g., BTC breaks $72K, dips to $71.5K, then rebounds)

✔ **Stop-loss below breakout level** (e.g., $70.5K if entry at $72K)

### **4. Take Profit Strategically**

✔ **1st TP at 1.5x risk** (e.g., 5% gain if SL is 3.5%)

✔ **2nd TP at next resistance** (e.g., $75K after $72K breakout)

### **5. Avoid False Breakouts**

❌ Low-volume moves = likely fake

❌ News pumps (SEC rulings, Elon tweets) = often reverse
