sell the market near the resistance level, all probabilities will be in your
favor.
But the question is when to enter the market? And where to put my
stop loss?
If you enter the market aggressively before the breakout of the mother
candle, and you put your stop loss above it, the market will take your
stop loss and go in the predicted direction.
See the illustration below:
As illustrated above, big players hunt novice traders stops before
pushing the market to go down, if your stop loss was near the
resistance level, you would be out as well, if you don’t understand the
reason why, it is simply because you were a victim of big players
hunting stop strategy.

Trading inside bar false breakouts with Fibonacci retracements
I don’t really know if you are familiar with this technical trading tool,
however, I will try to show you how to use it in a simple and efficient
way in combination with the inside bar false breakout.
What you have to know is that in an uptrend or a downtrend, the
market creates impulsive moves and pullbacks.
The Fibonacci retracement helps us highlight the most important
pullbacks levels in the market.
The best Fibonacci retracement levels that i personally use are the
50% and 61% levels, according to my experience these levels are the
most important areas that experienced trader watch in their charts.
Our strategy is simple, we select the technical tool on our chart, and if
the market moves strongly, we wait for retracements, if the pullback
reaches 50% or 61 % levels, we need just a price action signal to
confirm our entry. See the example below:
