General observation is that if a sock opens gap up close to the resistance and after consolidation breaks out of resistance,it is likely to be a durable breakout....on the other hand if the resistance is far away and stock reaches the resistance without consolidation, then the breakout is doubtful...likely to be a failure ...but if there is consolidation then it can be a good durable breakout.
Every rule and observation can have a few exceptions.....
