Breakout Confirmation

After the break candle, what follows must behave like expansion — low friction, dominant bodies in the breakout direction, limited overlap. The standard is the same as Chapter 17: persistence sufficient to describe the behavior without hedging. If the candles following the break are stalling, overlapping near the boundary, or showing high friction, the breakout has not confirmed. A boundary revisit after confirmation is normal and expected — it is not a signal that the breakout has failed. The actual wrong point for a breakout thesis is not the boundary but the mid-range of the prior acceptance.
