## What it means

Yesterday's high and low are levels almost every trader watches. A decisive close beyond one of them often brings follow-through as stops trigger.

## How it is confirmed without repainting

Previous-day levels come from the closed prior session, so they never change during today.

## When it fails

A quick close back inside yesterday's range, which turns it into a failed breakout.
