1. *Initial Breakout* – Price moves beyond a well-defined support/resistance level or trendline, triggering entries.
2. *Lack of Confirmation* – Low volume, weak momentum, or no follow-through after the breakout.
3. *Sharp Reversal* – Price swiftly moves back into the prior range, stopping out breakout traders.
4. *Stop Hunts* – Often seen in institutional trading, where large players intentionally trigger stops before reversing.
#### *Types of Fake Breakouts:*
*Bull Trap* – False breakout above resistance, then a drop.
*Bear Trap* – False breakdown below support, then a rally.
#### *How to Avoid Fake Breakouts:*
✅ *Wait for a Retest* – Confirm the breakout holds after a pullback.
✅ *Check Volume* – A real breakout usually has strong volume.
✅ *Use Multiple Timeframes* – Align breakouts with higher timeframe trends.
✅ *Look for Candlestick Rejections* – Pin bars or engulfing patterns near the breakout level can signal a trap.
Fake breakouts are common in choppy or low-liquidity markets, so proper confirmation is key to avoiding losses.
