Overview
Surface instruments crossing above resistance or below support across a whole asset class, with the momentum context to judge the move.
The Breakouts screener helps traders identify instruments moving beyond significant price levels. It surfaces two types of events: breakouts (price crossing above resistance) and breakdowns (price crossing below support). Both often signal the beginning or continuation of a trend, accompanied by expanding momentum.
