🧠 MARKET STRUCTURE: FAILED BREAKOUT
A failed breakout happens when price moves beyond a key level but cannot sustain the move.
• 📈 Price breaks resistance → watch the follow-through
• 🔄 Price falls back below → breakout may be failing
• 📊 Volume can help assess participation
• 🧱 Reclaiming the old range can strengthen the failure signal
• ⚠️ One candle alone is not confirmation
Key takeaway: A breakout matters more when price can hold the new territory, not simply touch it.
