Breakout watch

Price presses the top of a defined range while range width stays tight — a watchlist state, not a filled breakout.

CHART

Pattern sketch

Closed-candle sketch for the Breakout watch shape. Not a live quote and not a signal.

RULES

Research rules

  1. Defined range high is established from closed candles.
  2. Distance to range high is within the breakout-proximity band.
  3. Range width remains tight (no runaway expansion yet).
  4. Already-extended vertical moves are excluded from this stage.
  5. Invalidation: failed test that closes back through mid-range with expansion.

CONTEXT

How Tradersland uses this

Breakout watch means the structure is ready for a test of resistance. Distance to the range high is small; volume may still be quiet. Already-extended vertical moves do not belong here.

Heatmap cells on higher timeframes help confirm whether the press is isolated or aligned across 1h / 4h / 1d. Still paper research only.
