Structure

Breakouts

Price moves outside an established range or level.

What to notice

A breakout is more informative when a closed candle holds beyond the boundary and later tests it from the other side.

The context that matters

Volume, volatility and higher-timeframe structure can support or conflict with the observation.

Common mistake

Chasing the first wick beyond a level as though the break were confirmed.

Try it on a chart

Write down the breakout boundary and what close or retest would count as follow-through.
