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.
