Does a price breakout above resistance mean the market is about to take off?

In crypto trading, many people have experienced this:

The price finally breaks through a key resistance level, and trading volume also increases. Traders think a rally is about to begin and chase the price, only for it to suddenly reverse and fall back into its previous range.

This is what traders often call a “false breakout.”

What really needs to be assessed is not just whether the price has broken through, but whether the market can continue to accept higher prices afterward.

Why do prices often reverse after breaking through support and resistance levels?
In cryptocurrency trading, many people have encountered this situation: BTC suddenly breaks through resistance, traders immediately go long, but the price quickly turns lower; or the price falls below support, shorts have just entered, but the market suddenly rebounds. This phenomenon is often related to false breakouts.
First, understand what a false breakout is. When the price breaks through a key support or resistance level but fails to establish a sustained directional move and instead quickly returns to the

Where Do DeFi’s High Yields Come From? Understanding the Source of Returns Matters More Than Chasing Numbers

In the DeFi world, you may see certain liquidity pools, lending protocols, or yield strategies offering relatively high annualized returns.

But there is one question worth asking first:

Who exactly is paying these returns? And through what mechanism are they generated?

If you cannot explain where the returns come from, it is difficult to judge whether they are sustainable.

11.11 Gold Midday Review

Yesterday, rate hike and CPI news sent prices falling all the way to around 4015, and many traders were liquidated one after another

The U.S. has abandoned the option of launching a direct war and is not seeking a short-term agreement, instead choosing a long-term economic blockade of Iran. This is a slow-paced contest, without the strong immediate stimulus of an outbreak of conflict, so risk-aversion sentiment is unlikely to heat up quickly. Both gold and crude oil are waiting for news, making it difficult for either to rally sharply. The market remains focused on e

Good morning, everyone!
The short-term action is playing out according to the scenario laid out last night
A break below 73000 triggered panic selling
Then it was immediately reclaimed
The high has already reached 74000
I think there’s still room to move higher, so I’m in no rush to exit
Of course, it’s also necessary to chase higher now
The 72000-72500 area may be tested repeatedly
Just like 74000 was over the past couple of days
In any case, this area is a short-term bottom for BTC

When prices rise, look at the upside; when they fall, look at the duration.
ETH long liquidation prices are clustered around 1880, which is quite dangerous.
Cut losses promptly when needed, or they will only keep mounting.
[Position Opening Details]:
$ETH After closing the short position last night, I signaled an entry into a long position. There was actually an element of gambling involved. In the evening, a high-volume wick broke down to 2026.11, then rebounded to 2095.89 before retesting the lows at 2003.57.

What Is the Bid-Ask Spread? Why Can an Apparently Small Spread Keep Affecting Returns from High-Frequency Trading and Frequent Entries and Exits?

In cryptocurrency trading, many people focus only on price movements and overlook the spread between buying and selling. Even when the market price does not change noticeably, traders may still incur costs from the bid-ask spread and fees. The more trades they make, the more these costs matter.

First, what is the bid-ask spread?

The bid-ask spread is the difference between the current lowest ask and highest bid. For example, if the highest bid for

Why Can You Lose Money in Perpetual Futures Even When You Get the Direction Right?

In crypto futures trading, there’s a particularly frustrating situation: you correctly predict whether BTC will rise or fall, but your account still ends up losing money. The problem may not be your market call, but rather leverage, position size, trading costs, and execution.

First, excessive leverage. Suppose you open a position with a notional value of 10,000 USDT. If the price moves 1% in your favor, the theoretical profit or loss is about 100 USDT; if it moves 1% against you, the theoretical loss is also

Tong Ge's BTC outlook for 11.11
$BTC Short entry around 738-743, stop loss at 748, targets at 730-725-720.

The 73333 level held for several days, but last night it was finally smashed through, with the price dropping straight to a low of 72691.
Now the price has rebounded to around 738. Are some people thinking the opportunity is back?
Wake up! Don't rush to call a rebound after a support break a reversal. The former support level should first be watched to see whether it can turn into resistance.
This is what Tong Ge calls a breakdown retest.
Bulls defended 733 for several days; now that it'

What Is Market Liquidity? Why Doesn’t High Trading Volume Necessarily Mean Large Orders Can Be Filled Smoothly?

In crypto trading, trading volume is often used to gauge market activity, but high volume doesn’t mean there are necessarily enough buy and sell orders available right now. What really affects whether orders can be filled smoothly is the depth of orders at different price levels, the bid-ask spread, and the market’s ability to absorb buying and selling pressure as orders are executed.

What Is Order Book Depth? How Can the Distribution of Buy and Sell Orders Help Gauge the Potential Price Impact of Large Orders?

In cryptocurrency trading, the latest price shown on screen does not mean all traders can execute at that price. What really affects how large orders are filled is the volume of buy and sell orders at different price levels. Order book depth can help traders assess the market’s capacity to absorb trades and the potential price impact of buying and selling.
