Breakouts and Fakeouts
Not every breakout is real. Sometimes, prices just poke out and return, known as a fakeout.

- Confirm with the chart nature.
- Wait for the candle to close outside the channel. If the close is moving away, wait for a retest.
- Also, wait for additional price action confirmations.
