📌 What is a Breakout?
A breakout occurs when the price moves above a resistance level or below a support level with significant volume. Breakouts indicate the start of a potential new trend and trading opportunities.
📊 Key Elements of Breakout Strategy
- Support & Resistance levels – Identify strong zones
- Volume – Higher volume confirms the breakout
- Trend Confirmation – Align with overall market trend
- Timeframe – Breakouts on higher timeframes are more reliable
📈 Types of Breakouts
- Upside Breakout: Price moves above resistance → Bullish signal
- Downside Breakout: Price moves below support → Bearish signal
- False Breakout: Price breaks level but quickly reverses

⚠ Common Mistakes
