A little refresher about Breaker Blocks
Breaker blocks are essentially the result of an order block that didn’t hold (price did not respect it and broke right through) after taking liquidity.
Breakers are created by stop-hunts conducted in the general case of smart money have snatched an immediate high or low, then quickly reversed into the trend. After the price reverses and returns to the block that broke it (mitigating the losses) This is when we should focus on possible trade entry points.
The Bullish Breaker block:
A Bullish breaker can be described as the candle that closes up in the swing low before price making a higher-high. It is valid after stops are placed below a previous swing low and price reverses, then is above the swing-high that includes the candle that is a breaker:
The Bearish Breaker block:
A Bearish Breaker is the final candle that closes down in a swing high prior to price makes lower lows. It is valid when the stops are taken above a previous swing high the price reverses and is below the swing low that contains the breaker candle.
When price returns to a Breaker block:
- It should react to either the open or 50% level (equilibrium) of the breaker candle

Wicks is a matter of concern?
- Wicks DOcount for the candle that creates either the lower low or the higher high.
- Wicks do not be counted for a candle that has broken lower or higher than the prior swing point to be considered a breaker block. the candle must close below or above in order for the break block to appear on the chart.
Only Bullish Breakers with a LOWER LOW FIRST are eligible as breaker
NOTE: WICKS DO COUNT(as well as an candle’s body) for the bearish candle that creates this lower low.
WICKS that break BELOW the previous high of a swing do not countand don’t qualify to show the breaker box (and cause the alarm). A candle must close above the previous swing-high in order to be able to qualify the breaker block.
Only bearish breakers who make an OVER HIGH FIRST can qualify as breaker
Notice: WICKS DO COUNT(as well as a candle’s body) for the bullish candle which makes this HIGHER High
Candles that fail to break lower than the previous swing-low do not countand don’t qualify to highlight the breakers box (and activate the alarm). A candle must close below the previous swing low to be able to qualify the breaker block.
