Here's what I've noticed over the years of trading - when the price breaks through a level and then returns to it, that's a retest, and it's exactly at this moment that an ideal entry opportunity opens up. Many traders simply open a position on the breakout, but that's not quite the right approach.

Any retest shows that serious supply is accumulating at this level. The price goes up, then reverses and falls back - this is no coincidence. Such zones act like magnets, attracting and repelling the price again and again. Every time the price approaches the broken level, it exerts influence.

Interestingly, this works on any time frame - whether on a five-minute chart, an hourly chart, or daily candles. Important levels always become retesting points. And you know what? No pattern or figure is complete without this phenomenon. It’s a universal market law.

When I started waiting for the retest instead of jumping immediately on the breakout, my trading results noticeably improved. It taught me patience - you need to wait for a more favorable entry point, not rush in. Yes, the strategy of entering on the very breakout also has its merits, but a retest gives you more control and better entry points. Try it yourself - you'll understand why experienced traders pay close attention to retests.
