I've noticed that many beginners overlook an important detail in technical analysis. A retest is actually one of the most reliable signals for entering a position, but few people use it correctly.

Here's what happens: the price breaks through a certain level, then pulls back to that level and bounces off it again. That moment of return is the retest. It's an ideal place to open a trade if you know what to look for.

When the price rises and then reverses downward, it indicates that there is serious selling interest at that level. And if the price approaches it again, that level will work once more. Every such level has weight, regardless of whether you're looking at five-minute candles, hourly, or daily charts.

A retest is not just a coincidence. These levels act like magnets—they attract the price and then repel it. There isn't a single pattern that doesn't involve a retest. It's a universal phenomenon.

Personally, I’ve noticed that waiting for a retest develops patience. Instead of rushing to breakouts, you wait for a more favorable entry point. Of course, trading on the breakout also makes sense, but a retest gives you more control and a better risk-to-reward ratio.

If you haven't yet applied this strategy, I recommend starting to monitor important levels and wait for their retests. It will change your approach to trading.
