What is Breakout?
A breakout is when price moves out of a defined area such as a range, above resistance, or below support. It signals that price has left the zone it was stuck in. Some breakouts hold and continue, while others fail and snap back, so a breakout is an observation rather than a guarantee.
Why Breakout matters
Breakouts mark the moment a market leaves a familiar zone, which is when behavior often changes.
