What formed

Break and retest is one of the most-watched patterns in price action: price breaks a clear level (support, resistance, or a trendline), then comes back to test that same level from the other side before continuing. The retest is treated as confirmation the break was real, with old resistance acting as new support and vice versa.

It forms after a decisive close through a level, followed by a controlled pullback to it. A clean retest that holds, with the level flipping roles, is read as stronger than an immediate continuation that never retests.

Backtested break-and-retest outcomes, book early management, both direction. Net of 0.12% round-trip fees. Rows with n < 20 shown greyed. Methodology
How we compute this
Fixed 2% risk per trade; position size comes from the distance to invalidation. Returns are non-compounded (a flat 2% risk each time), reported net of a 0.12% round-trip fee. Rows below 20 historical instances are surfaced as directional, not conclusive.

How this pattern behaves

Watch whether the retest holds the flipped level or closes back through it. A hold is read as the break confirmed; a failure is read as a fake-out. We track the historical outcomes for each on this coin and timeframe.

Also known as: break-retest.
