Continuation Point
The level where breaking confirms the trend is continuing
The continuation point is the boundary of a structural range that, if broken, confirms the prevailing trend is continuing. In a bullish structural range, it is the swing high. In a bearish structural range, it is the swing low. A break and close beyond this level forms a new structural high or low and creates a new structural range.
✓How to Recognize
- •Swing high in a bullish range (break confirms new higher high)
- •Swing low in a bearish range (break confirms new lower low)
- •Break creates a new structural range
- •Confirms trend continuation and new impulsive phase
⚡How to Avoid
- →Expecting continuation without confirmation close
- →Entering before the continuation point is actually broken
- →Treating a wick through continuation as a valid break
- →Ignoring volume on the break
