Breakout

Technical Analysis

Qué significa

When price moves clearly beyond a support or resistance level, often with rising volume. It hints that a new move in the breakout direction has started.

Ejemplo

A stock has rejected $100 five times. On the sixth attempt it closes at $102 on twice the normal volume -- that breakout suggests $100 is now support and $110+ is in play.

Error común de principiantes

Beginners chase the breakout candle at the very top, then watch price reverse in a "fakeout." Waiting for a retest of the broken level gives a safer entry and a clear stop.
