Breaker Block
An order block that fails is not just invalidated, it flips. The same zone that used to reject price is watched to see if it now holds it, from the other side.
Watch it flip, then guess if the flip holds
Reveal each candle as it prints. A small zone forms and rejects price once, the way an order block is supposed to. Later, price closes straight through it, the tool detects that live and relabels the zone a breaker. Before the retest bars print, guess whether the flipped zone actually holds.
A small rejection zone has formed. Reveal the next candle to see what happens to it.
How it works
- The origin zone has to actually do its job first. Price approaches it, gets rejected, and moves away, exactly what a normal order block is supposed to do the first time it's tested.
- The break is a close, not a wick. A candle poking a shadow through the zone and closing back below it hasn't broken anything, this page only flags a break once a real candle body closes past the level.
- The flip is automatic and immediate. The instant that close happens, the zone's expected role reverses, what was resistance is now watched as potential support, or the mirror for a bearish setup.
- A retest that holds only needs the close to stay on the right side. A wick dipping back into the old zone during the retest doesn't invalidate the flip by itself, only a full close back through it does.
- Every scenario here is randomized, holding is never guaranteed. The stat tracking hold rate across runs is the only honest way to see how often a flip like this actually sticks in this simulation.
Where this breaks
A flip is a story about why, this page only checks what
Calling a zone a breaker is really a claim about why the original level failed, that the participants who were defending it got run over and are now trapped on the wrong side, which is supposed to make them defend the level again from the other direction once price returns. This page can only check the price action: did the zone reject once, did a candle later close through it, does the retest hold. It has no way to know whether real size actually traded through that level or whether the whole sequence was three small, thinly traded candles that happened to line up. Two breaks that look identical in shape can have completely different odds of holding in a live market, depending on what actually happened behind the price, information a price-only chart cannot show.
