📊 BREAKOUT STRATEGY — real example: $BTC
Bitcoin is about 1.5% below its 7-day high ($87.2k). This is exactly the kind of zone where the breakout strategy applies.
What counts as confirmation:
• A candle close ABOVE the level—not a wick that touches it and pulls back. The candle body has to close above it.
The false breakout trap:
• Price breaks through the level, you enter on impulse, and the candle closes back inside. Anyone who bought the “breakout” gets stuck at the top. That’s why the wick alone is not an entry signal.
Where a trader might place a stop (educational example, not a recommendation):
• Below the broken level—if price moves back inside, the thesis is invalidated and the loss is limited. Risk is defined before entering.
Context: overbought RSI (~77) near resistance = extra caution. No one knows the direction for certain.
⚠️ No confirmation, no entry. Educational content, not financial advice.
