Retest

A later return toward a previously crossed or marked chart area.

The term is often used after a breakout when price revisits the old boundary. The area, allowed distance and confirming event should be stated rather than inferred after the fact.

After closing above a marked range high, price later trading back near that boundary may be described as a retest.

Not every return is a meaningful retest, and the earlier move does not have to resume after one.

A definition, not financial advice. Trading carries a risk of loss.
