When price action forms a breakout pattern followed by a retest of that level, it typically signals strong institutional or retail conviction. The volume that floods in during these BreakBlocks phases tends to be substantial—far exceeding average daily turnover. Understanding this dynamic is key: the retest often acts as a final shakeout before the real move unfolds. Trading around these structural patterns and respecting the volume profile they generate can make the difference between catching a major swing and getting caught in noise.

retest shakeouts hit different when gas spikes coincide... watched the mempool explode last week during one of these and honestly the fee arbitrage opportunities were chef's kiss. volume profile don't lie but neither do gwei patterns ngl

Breaking the level and retesting this strategy, to put it simply, is the market maker's final shakeout; retail investors need to withstand it.

Retest is really a trap. How many people cut their losses here and ended up missing the big move later on.

Retesting is really crucial; many people fall for false breakouts here... a surge in volume is the real signal.

Breaking through and retesting this concept is heard too often, but few actually survive the shakeout...

I want to retest that level line to see if the institutions are still present.

Retesting really tests your mental resilience; many people get eliminated here.

Retest that, institutions are really filtering retail investors. I see through this move.
