Real Breakout (The Money Maker)
Volume: Huge spike! 📊
Price: Big candle bodies, tiny wicks, and a clean close past the level. ✅
Action: Price holds the level on a retest and keeps going. 🏃💨
Context: Aligns with the higher timeframe trend. 🌊
🪤 Fakeout (The Liquidity Trap)
Volume: Low or declining—no one is buying the hype. 📉
Price: Long wicks and a quick rejection back into the range. 🙅♂️
Action: No follow-through; it just hunts your stop-loss. 🎯
Context: Happens in choppy, sideways markets. 💤
💡 Pro Tips for Success
Stop being early: Wait for the candle to close beyond the level. ⏳
Confirm with volume: No volume = no trade. 🚫
The Retest: Conservative traders wait for the "kiss" off the old resistance to ensure it’s now support. 💋
Stop seeing fakeouts as bad luck—see them as the market hunting liquidity. Patience is your edge! 💎🙌
