Breaker block

A breaker block is a former order block that failed to hold price: structure broke the other way, and the zone flipped its role from support to resistance or vice versa. After the break, price often returns to this level as a zone of interest of the opposite direction.

A breaker forms where the market took liquidity beyond a prior extreme and then moved decisively the other way: the order block that should have held the move was broken and reinterpreted. A bullish breaker forms after a downward structure breaks upward; a bearish one after an upward structure breaks downward. It marks a change in the character of the move, so a breaker often sits alongside a CHoCH and an imbalance inversion.

A breaker is a general Smart Money (SMC) concept; it is not used on its own in the active FocusProfit method and is given here for completeness. In our method zones are read together with structure and the range, not as an isolated level: what matters is which liquidity price took and whether the reaction is confirmed. The Trade Model indicator maps structure, helping you see where a former zone changed its role.
