💥 Crypto Breakout Trading Strategy (Support/Resistance + Volume)

Optional: RSI or Bollinger Bands

✅ Step-by-Step Strategy:
1. Identify Key Levels:
Look for consolidation ranges, horizontal support/resistance, or chart patterns (triangles, flags).
Mark major breakout zones.
2. Wait for Breakout:
Candle must close above resistance or below support (not just wick).
Breakouts with high volume are more reliable.
3. Entry:
Aggressive Entry: Enter at breakout close.
Conservative Entry: Wait for a retest of the breakout level, then enter on confirmation (e.g., bullish/bearish candle bounce).
4. Stop Loss:
Place just below breakout level (for upside break) or above (for downside).
Or use ATR (Average True Range) for dynamic SL.
5. Take Profit:
Use measured move (project the height of consolidation range).
Or fixed R:R (1:2 or 1:3).

🧠 Example:
ETH consolidates between $3,000–$3,200 for several days.
Breaks above $3,200 with high volume.
Enter long at $3,220.
SL: $3,150 (below former resistance).
TP: $3,400 (based on range size).

⚠️ Pro Tips:
Fakeouts are common — use volume confirmation.
Avoid breakout trades in low-volatility, sideways markets.
Don’t chase — if price runs too far past the level, wait for a pullback.
