How to distinguish between impulse and false breakout — visual signs on the chart!
👊 A true impulse is not just a candle going up. It is a movement backed by strength. You can see how the price breaks through a level and consolidates, without unnecessary pullbacks.
🔥 Impulse is not alone — it is usually followed by a continuation. A false breakout looks different: a sharp spike and almost immediately a fade.
It often does not break the level or quickly retraces back. To avoid mistakes, it is important to look at the background.
⚡️ Are there volumes? Was there a flat before this? Is there visible acceleration or is it a one-time spike?
⚠️ The main thing is not to rush. Confirmation is always more important than the desire to enter first.
