A false breakthrough is when the chart goes beyond the support and resistance levels but then returns to the price channel.

Look carefully at the chart to distinguish a false breakthrough from a real one.
If the candlestick closes below the support level or above the resistance level so that approximately ¾ of its body is outside of the price channel, then the breakthrough is real.

If the candlestick closes below the support level or above the resistance level so that less than ¾ of its body is outside of the price channel, then the breakthrough is false.
