Here’s how to trade it properly: ✅ WHAT MAKES A VALID CHOCH? 1️⃣ Clear Break of Structure Downtrend reversal: Price breaks & closes above a swing high Uptrend reversal: Price breaks & closes below a swing low 2️⃣ Strong Momentum Follow-Through Next candle confirms (no immediate rejection) Volume spikes on the break 3️⃣ Retest & Hold Price pulls back to the breakout level but holds as support/resistance 🚨 FAKEOUT CHOCH (Avoid These!) ✖️ Wick Breaks (no close beyond structure) ✖️ Low Volume (no conviction in the move) ✖️ No Retest (price just floats without confirmation) 💰 HOW TO ENTRY LIKE A PRO Aggressive: Enter on the first close beyond structure (small position) Conservative: Wait for the retest + hold (higher probability) Confirmation: Add on a strong follow-through candle 📌 REAL-CHART EXAMPLE (See Image Below 👇) Before CHOCH: Downtrend making lower highs/lows CHOCH Trigger: Break & close above swing high Retest: Pullback to old resistance (now support) Result: Strong reversal 👇 COMMENT “CHOCH” IF YOU’VE BEEN FAKED OUT BEFORE! #PriceAction #SmartMoneyConcepts
