A Break of Structure (BOS) is when price breaks beyond a prior swing point in the direction of the trend — a new higher high in an uptrend, or a new lower low in a downtrend. It confirms the trend is continuing.
How traders use it
- A BOS confirms trend continuation, not reversal.
- Traders use it to stay with the prevailing trend.
- It is a core building block of price-action structure.
