💥 Breakout Trading Strategy: Support/Resistance + Volume Confirmation
---
🔧 What You Need:
Charting tool (e.g., TradingView)
Indicators:
Support & Resistance levels (draw manually or use indicators)
Volume indicator
Optional: RSI or Bollinger Bands
Best Timeframes: 15-min, 1H, or 4H
---
📈 Step-by-Step Strategy
✅ 1. Identify a Range or Key Level
Find a strong horizontal resistance or support level.
Price must test this level at least 2–3 times.
You want a tight range or consolidation just before the breakout.
> Example: BTC hits $61,000 three times but can’t break it. That’s your breakout level.
---
✅ 2. Wait for Breakout + Volume Surge
When price breaks above resistance (or below support), confirm it with a spike in volume.
False breakouts often happen with low volume.
Entry:
Buy when a candle closes above the breakout level with high volume.
Or place a buy stop order slightly above resistance.
---
✅ 3. Set Stop-Loss
Just below the breakout level for long trades
Just above for short trades
Or below the most recent swing low (more conservative)
---
✅ 4. Set Take-Profit
TP1: Use a measured move (same size as previous range)
TP2: Use Fibonacci extension or trailing stop
TP3: Exit if volume drops or RSI goes overbought/oversold
---
🧠 Example:
Asset: ETH/USDT
Resistance: $3,200
Range size: $150
Breakout: ETH closes above $3,200 with high volume
Entry: $3,205
SL: $3,180
TP: $3,350+

🔄 Bonus: Retest Entry Strategy
If you missed the breakout, wait for price to retest the broken resistance (now support)
Enter on bounce from that level with a bullish candle confirmation
