Market structure

Reading structure without certainty

A short overview of trend, range, support, resistance, breakout, pullback, and structure concepts as context.

A trend describes directional movement over a period of time. Trends can weaken, reverse, or become unclear as conditions change.

A range is a market condition where price moves between areas instead of showing clear directional continuation.

Support and resistance are areas where price has previously reacted or where attention may concentrate. They are not guaranteed barriers.

A breakout describes movement beyond a prior area or boundary. Breakouts can fail and should be reviewed with broader context.

A pullback is movement against a recent direction. It can provide context, but it is not a decision by itself.

Break of structure and fair value gap concepts can help describe structure or imbalance. They are interpretive tools, not certainty.
