💥 Breakout Trading: Not Just About Breaking Prices
Breakout is not just about "price breaking resistance", but about confirming buyer strength.
Breakout Strategy I Use:
✅ Wait for the price to close above resistance (not just “touch”)
✅ Volume must increase significantly — without volume = fakeout
✅ Use Retest Entry: enter when the price returns to the breakout area
✅ Set stop loss below the breakout zone
📈 Example:
🔸Resistance BTC at $120,000
🔸Breakout + increased volume = entry
🔸SL below $118,500
🔸TP depends on structure: $123K, $125K, etc.
⚠️ Beware:
🔸Fakeout (false breakout) — often occurs during major news/events
🔸Do not chase prices without a plan
🔸Breakouts at night often have low volume (low Asia session)
🎯 “Successful breakout = breakout + volume + candle confirmation.”
Do you often use breakout strategies?
Or do you prefer breakout & retest?
