Volume: A trend must show increasing volume at its initial stage, especially after a long period of sideways movement. However, the best entry point is after a secondary pullback and the main force has finished shaking out the weak hands.

Price: Pay attention to the closing price; only when it closes above the resistance level does the breakout become genuine.
Time: It’s best to experience at least three months of decreasing volume sideways consolidation before the breakout, with chip concentration below 10%. When the main force has fully accumulated positions, the subsequent rally will have explosive power.
Resistance: Identify key resistance levels—possibly the starting point of a previous correction, a W bottom, head and shoulders neckline, or an integer milestone. Once broken, the price increase will have a solid psychological support.
