Break of Structure (BoS): When the Trend Announces Itself“Structure is the language of the market. Learn it, and price speaks to you.”
Every trader looks at charts hoping for clues — and structure is the clearest one.
A Break of Structure (BoS) is a simple but powerful concept: it shows when the market confirms a continuation of the trend.
What is BoS?
When price breaks a previous high in an uptrend → confirms bullish continuation.
When price breaks a previous low in a downtrend → confirms bearish continuation.
BoS is different from ChoCH:
ChoCH signals potential reversal .
BoS signals trend continuation .
How to Spot BoS
Identify the key swing highs and lows.
Wait for price to decisively break them.
Confirm the break on the timeframe aligned with your bias (e.g., H4 for trend, M15 for setups).
Practical Tip
A BoS on M15 aligned with H4 bias is often where setups start forming.
Never assume a break is real without observing structure alignment and volume/confirmation.
Price doesn’t lie. Structure doesn’t cheat.
Once you see the break, the market has announced its intentions.
