Retest Strategy Beats Breakout Chasing

Skip the breakout trap. The smarter play? Wait for the retest. Identify your clear resistance zones first—those price levels where the chart has consistently bounced back before. Once you spot them, wait for price to pull back and test that level again. That's your entry signal.

Why this works: By the time a breakout happens, most of the move is already priced in. You're buying high energy, not high probability. A retest shows genuine strength—price hit resistance, sellers stepped in, then buyers fought back. That's conviction.

Exit when the chart runs higher after your entry. Don't overthink it. The setup told you when to get in; the upthrust tells you when to get out. Simple mechanics, better odds than chasing candles that already closed.
