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.
