Breakout

Also written or said as: breaking out, broke out, fake breakout

When price pushes through a level it kept failing at.

A coin stuck under a $1 million market cap for a day finally breaks through on heavy volume: that is a breakout. Traders often buy breakouts, and fake breakouts, where price pokes above the level and drops straight back, catch a lot of them. Strong volume behind the move is the usual tell.

This guide is for learning. It is not financial advice. Most memecoins go to zero and most people who trade them lose money. Only ever trade what you can afford to lose.
