Breakout(Breakout)

Price pushing through an important level (resistance, range boundary, pattern) on volume; it can mark the start of a new move or be a trap.

Also written as: kırılım

In a healthy breakout, volume increases, the candle closes clearly beyond the level, and the retest holds the level. A weak breakout (low volume, wick) usually turns out to be false.

Two entry approaches: at the moment of the breakout (momentum, higher risk of a false breakout) or on the retest (better price, risk of missing the move).
