Lately I see a lot of confusion about what a true breaker block is.

So let me explain it simply.

A breaker block is basically what happens when an order block fails.
When the price breaks a support or resistance level, it removes liquidity from the market and completely changes the structure of the price action.
It goes from bullish to bearish or vice versa.
It's one of those concepts that once understood, you see everywhere on the charts.

How does it form?
Let's start with a swing low.
This is the lowest point of the current price action, usually marked by a wick.
It's important to clearly mark this level because the price could continue to fall if it breaks below it.
Then, it happens that that swing low is taken out, meaning the market is forming a new low.
At that point, if an order block fails, that’s when our breaker block is created.

The dynamic is this: the price rises above the resistance, takes liquidity, and then comes back down.
When this happens, that level becomes a breaker block that will act as support or resistance in the future.
It's like the market leaves a scar.

Now, how do you trade with a breaker block?
Simple.
Wait for the price to return to that level and then enter the trade.
The breaker block should hold the price as support.
If you also have good volume at that point, even better.
It's the confluence you're looking for.

The interesting thing about breaker blocks is that once you recognize them, they become a reliable tool.
It's not magic, it's just price action.
If the level holds, hold the position.
If it breaks below, exit.
Simple and clean.

I hope this explanation clarified the concept for you.
