Represents a key price area where large institutional orders were placed.
Price often reacts to these levels, either reversing or continuing.
Shift:
A change in market structure where price breaks the prior trend or key level, indicating a potential reversal.
Breaker:
A former order block that gets violated as price moves past it.
It becomes a breaker zone when price flips to the opposite side and retests it as support (for buy setups) or resistance (for sell setups).
Break of Structure (BOS):
A significant price movement breaking a key level, confirming a potential trend continuation or reversal.
Trade Setup Ideas:
1. Buy Breaker POI Setup:
Conditions:
Price breaks below an order block and then shifts direction upward.
A bullish break of structure (BOS) occurs, flipping the order block into a support zone.
Entry:
Enter when the price retests the breaker zone as support.
Stop Loss:
Place the stop loss slightly below the breaker zone.
Take Profit:
Target the next resistance level or high created after the BOS.
2. Sell Breaker POI Setup:
Conditions:
Price breaks above an order block and then shifts direction downward.
A bearish BOS occurs, flipping the order block into a resistance zone.
Entry:
Enter when the price retests the breaker zone as resistance.
Stop Loss:
Place the stop loss slightly above the breaker zone.
Take Profit:
Target the next support level or low created after the BOS.
Steps to Trade Breaker POIs:
Identify Market Structure:
Look for trends and key levels such as order blocks and previous highs/lows.
Wait for the Shift and BOS:
Observe a clear violation of the order block and market structure change.
Mark the Breaker Zone:
Highlight the order block that was broken and wait for a retest.
Confirmation and Entry:
Use candlestick patterns, volume spikes, or momentum indicators to confirm entry at the breaker zone.
Risk Management:
Always use stop losses and calculate risk-reward ratios before entering trades.
This strategy is commonly used in price action trading and works well with additional confluence factors like Fibonacci retracements, trendlines, or indicators to increase success probabilities.
