What is False Breakout in crypto trading?

A false breakout is a move through a support or resistance level that fails to hold — price closes back inside the range, trapping the traders who chased the break. It is the most common pattern in crypto because levels are where stops and breakout orders cluster, and the market is paid to trigger them. Its failure is itself a signal.
