Ever notice how the breakout candle that looks strongest is often the one that fails fastest?
Here's the gap: price breaking above a level means nothing on its own. What matters is what happens after. A genuine breakout holds the level as new support — price pushes through, pulls back to test that line, and buyers step in to defend it. A bull trap pushes through on a burst of volume, fails to hold, and slides right back below the level within a few candles, trapping everyone who chased the move.
Watch the retest, not the breakout. If the old resistance can't hold as support, the move was never real.
What's your go-to signal for confirming a retest holds?
