Retest

What it means

A retest helps traders see whether the old level is now acting in the opposite role or simply failing.

What to watch

Not every retest has to touch the exact same price. Context and reaction matter more than a perfectly precise revisit.

Where traders usually run into this

Retest is most useful once it is tied to a concrete page, chart decision, or workflow question.

• Breakout keeps this term attached to a real glossary instead of leaving it as standalone jargon.
• Pullback keeps this term attached to a real glossary instead of leaving it as standalone jargon.
• Support and Resistance keeps this term attached to a real glossary instead of leaving it as standalone jargon.

Best next page if this term is blocking you

If you understand the definition but still do not know what to do with it, start with Breakout. That page is the fastest way to see how retest shows up in a real glossary workflow.
