# Continuation Breakouts

1. **Market Breathers**:
   * After a significant move in one direction, the market often takes a pause.
   * Buyers and sellers step back to assess their next moves.
   * This results in a period of **consolidation**, where price moves within a range.

1. **Continuation Breakouts**:
   * These occur when traders push the price in the **same direction** as the prevailing trend.
   * It’s like catching a second wind after a brief rest.
   * Continuation breakouts align with the longer-term trend.
