#BreakoutTradingStrategy As a price action trader, one of the biggest lessons I've learned over the years is this:

When the market becomes quiet, it is usually preparing for something big.

Breakouts don't always come out of nowhere.

They often occur after a phase of accumulation or consolidation — when the price moves sideways, volume dries up, and most retail traders begin to lose patience.

But that's when the smart trader leans in and observes carefully:

Is the price repeatedly testing the same level without breaking it?

Are the candles getting tighter, forming compression or rejection candles?

Is the volume drying up... or starting to increase at key moments?

Then, all of a sudden — a strong breakout candle.
