❌ False Breakout PatternsA breakout that failed to proceed past a level, leading to a "false" breakout of that level, is referred to as a "false breakout."
One of the most essential price action trading patterns to learn is the false double bottom and double top patterns,
as a false-break is frequently a very strong indicator that price may be changing direction or that a trend may soon resume.
False breakouts occur in all market scenarios, including trending, consolidating, and counter-trending.
Trading Tips To Respect:
✅False breakouts can happen in markets that are trending, range-bound, or going against the trend.
Watch for them in all market conditions since they frequently provide insightful hints about the direction the market will take.
✅Trading against a trend can be challenging, but one of the "best" approaches is to watch for a clear false breakout signal
from a significant support or resistance level, as in the last example above.
✅False breakouts provide us with a "window" into the "fight" between expert and amateur traders, allowing us to engage in trading alongside them.
Trading will appear to you in a different light if you can learn to recognize and trade false breakout patterns.

Falsebreak
Example of a inside bar + false break tradeHere is an example of a profitable trade that closed out today for a 2R gain.
I currently have an open order on the USDCHF with a simular setup. See linked idea.
The setup consists of the following elements:
strong / clear preceding trend
consolidation in the form of one or more inside bars
a false break out of the consolidation, thus rejecting the counter trend direction
place a trade in the direction of the preceding trend
In this example the break was a well formed pinbar and I therefore placed a limit entry order at the 50% retracement of the pinbar.
Stop was placed above the high of the pinbar.
Profit target was placed at two times the distance of the stop, giving a R2R ratio of 2. Target also nicely lined up with the bottom of the consolidation / mother candle of the inside bar pattern.
