🎯 Break & Retest Strategy (Breaking and Re-testing)
This strategy is used by top traders because it is simple and very effective
And it works on any timeframe (15m – 1H – 4H – Daily)
📌 The idea of the strategy:
1️⃣ The price breaks a strong support or resistance area
2️⃣ It returns to test the same area
3️⃣ If it fails to go back above/below it → Enter the trade
This means do not enter with the break as soon as it happens
Wait for the re-test ← And here is the real profit 🎯
✔️ Entry conditions (Buy)
The price clearly breaks a strong resistance
It returns to touch the resistance that became support
A bullish reversal candle forms at the re-test
Volume ↑ higher than usual
⬅️ Buy Entry
❌ Entry conditions (Sell)
The price breaks a strong support
It returns to test the support that became resistance
A strong bearish candle at the test
Volume ↑ with the drop
⬅️ Sell Entry
🧠 Trade Management
Stop loss: below/above the testing area directly (1–2%)
Profit target: 2–3× of the stop loss
You can take part of the profits at the first target
📊 Quick example:
The BTC coin was a resistance at 70,000$
It broke it and rose to 72K
It returned to test the 70K level
A strong bullish candle appeared
⬅️ Buy Entry
Target 73–74K
The stop is below 69.5K
