📊 A BREAKOUT WICK IS NOT THE SAME AS A CONFIRMED BREAKOUT!

Many traders enter too early because price briefly moves above resistance.

Imagine $BTC is approaching a major resistance level.

Price spikes above it.

You enter LONG.

Minutes later, the candle closes back below resistance.

That move may have been a liquidity sweep rather than a successful breakout.

A more disciplined approach:

1️⃣ Identify resistance on 4H or 1H.

2️⃣ Wait for a completed candle above the level.

3️⃣ Check whether volume supports the move.

4️⃣ Look for a successful retest.

5️⃣ Define your invalidation before entering.

Even confirmed breakouts can fail.

Do you enter during the breakout candle or wait for confirmation?
