Breaker Blocks: When Stop Hunts Confirm Reversals Most traders understand order blocks, but breaker blocks are the next-level upgrade used by institutional traders in 2025 to catch reversals after stop hunts. Here’s how it works: A breaker block is a failed OB that price returns to — but instead of rejecting it, price breaks through, sweeps liquidity… and reverses from the opposite direction. How to spot it: 1. Price creates a bullish OB → bounces once 2. Comes back, breaks it, and sweeps liquidity 3. Returns to that broken OB (now a breaker) 4. CHoCH + imbalance = enter in reversal direction Breakers are deadly accurate around session opens or HTF EQ zones. They’re the footprints of trapped retail traders, and institutions love to retest these zones before moving aggressively. Think of breaker blocks as “the second chance sniper zones.” If you missed the first entry — or got faked out — the breaker is your precision redemption.
