Broken resistance becomes support
• When resistance is broken with volume, that price zone changes role to support on later pullbacks
• Rather than chasing right after the breakout, checking whether the level holds on the pullback (retest) allows a shorter stop
Connection to our data
• This role reversal is why, in MarketSurfer's support/resistance alerts, the same price zone can be shown as support at one time and as resistance at another
Where people slip
• They enter looking only at the surge at the moment of the breakout — chasing a breakout with no retest is the entry most vulnerable to a false breakout
Missing the breakout is not the end. The second chance, in which a pullback confirms that level as support, is what to wait for.
Between chasing right after a breakout and entering after a retest, which has given you the better win rate?
