📊 | Why Most Breakouts Fail?
Many traders buy the moment price breaks above resistance.
Professional traders often wait.
Why?
Because markets are designed to seek liquidity. Above every obvious resistance level are clusters of stop-loss orders and breakout buy orders. Large participants may push prices into that zone to fill orders before the market chooses its real direction.
Before chasing a breakout, ask yourself:
✅ Is trading volume expanding?
✅ Is the breakout holding above resistance after the retest?
✅ Is open interest rising without extreme funding?
If the answer is no, it could be a liquidity sweep rather than the start of a new trend.
Remember: Price doesn't always move where the crowd expects. It often moves where the most liquidity exists.
