What I Look for When Price Returns to a Breakout Level
When price breaks above resistance and later returns to the same area, I pay attention to the reaction.
Does the level now act as support? Does selling struggle to push price below it? Or does price fall back into the old range?
A successful retest can support a continuation idea, but it isn't guaranteed.
I also define what would invalidate the setup before entering.
The purpose of the retest is to provide more information—not to promise that the breakout will continue.
