This is when a stock or index moves over a previous high or the closing high of a previous trading range. This means a stock can 'breakout' to a new high or 'breakout' of a consolidation. For a good example, look at a chart of WCII for the year. It broke to a new high in April (its previous high was hit in June of 1998). Before that, it was in a consolidation after pulling back from highs in January and February. It traded between 30 and 37 during that time, and we played it as a rolling stock. It then 'broke out' of that trading range on April 12 on good volume. It then pulled back, and broke out to a new high after that, then again. It is now pulling back, and looks as if it will start rolling again. We like to see breakouts on above average volume, preferably much better (two or more times). This lends strength to the breakout.

A rise in a security's price above a resistance level (commonly its previous high price) or drop below a level of support (commonly the former lowest price.) A breakout is taken to signify a continuing move in the same direction. Can be used by technical analysts as a buy or sell indicator.

A chart pattern used to indicate a rise in a stock's price above its resistance level or drop below its support level. It is typically measured in terms of days. An N-Day breakout is a breakout of the highest high of the last N Days or the lowest low of the last N Days, where N is the number of days for the breakout. Thus a 20-Day breakout of the highs would occur when the price exceeded the highest high of the last 20 days. Breakouts are used in trend-following systems to indicate a potential start of a trend.

The movement that pushes through a resistance level or a support level.

A rise in the price of a stock above a resistance level, or a drop below a support level, typically construed as a buy or sell signal, respectively.

A sustained move through a support or resistance line. As a rule of thumb, this should consist of more than one day’s price action. The subsequent move can be powerful. Contrast this with a ‘Bear / Bull trap’, see above.

Used only in handicap racing, “breakout” refers to a contestant running quicker than he or she “dialed” his or her vehicle (predicted how quick it would run). Unless the opponent commits a more serious foul (e.g., red-lights, crosses the centerline, or fails a post-race inspection), the driver who breaks out loses. If both drivers break out, the one who runs closest to his or her dial is the winner.
