The gainers’ board is lively, but what really matters is the closing position. $STRK The latest complete hour moved from 0.05178 to 0.05424; the close is near the local high of this candle, and it has clearly broken above the prior twelve-hour high of 0.05353. Volume is about 1.66 times the average of the previous twenty candles’ volume. This isn’t just a quick poke through— the breakout has already been confirmed in the close.

I’m biased toward strength, and I don’t want to keep fanning the fire with a 27% daily rise. 0.05353 is the old high I’ve just crossed; only if I can fully hold it during the complete hour does the structure count as a gear shift. If I reclaim the line back below it, I’ll treat this breakout as a failure.
