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.
