Break of structure (BOS)
A break of structure (BOS) is a close beyond the last swing high in an uptrend, or swing low in a downtrend: the trend making a new leg.
How the break of structure (bos) works
Smart-money concepts (SMC) read trends through swing points. In an uptrend each BOS above a prior high confirms buyers remain in control; in a downtrend each BOS below a prior low confirms sellers do.
A BOS is a continuation signal. The level that would flip the structure (the CHoCH level) shows where the trend would be in doubt.
- Confirmation
- A candle close beyond the swing high or low.
- Target
- No fixed target: the next liquidity area or weak high / low.
- Fails if
- A close beyond the CHoCH level, which would change the structure.
