In the detection of true breakouts, then we need to have seen a strong trend in the direction of the intended breakout. If for instance there is a key support in EUR/USD at 1.3025, and currency market price is at 1.3215, we will need to see a strong trend build up to 1.3025. When price gets here, there will not be an immediate breakout but a testing of the support level to see if it holds. We can expect up to two or three tests / false breaks before we see a real breakout. So do not just rush into a trade because you see what you think is a breakout.
