Retests

Price revisits an area after breaking through it.

What to notice

A former resistance zone may be tested as support, or former support as resistance.

The context that matters

The reaction—not just the touch—matters. Some breakouts continue without a neat retest.

Common mistake

Assuming every retest will hold because a textbook example did.

Try it on a chart

Compare the retest’s candle closes and volume with the original breakout.
