Inside Bar Breakout (Buy Side)
Yesterday was an inside bar, trading entirely within the day before it, and today's close is above the inside bar's high. The breakout candle the compression was waiting for. Liquid stocks only (Rs 5 Cr+).
About This Scan
An inside bar is a candle that trades entirely within the high-low range of the candle before it, a pause in the move. This scan looks one step further: yesterday was an inside bar and today's close is above the inside bar's high, so the compression has resolved upward. It compares three daily candles (the day before yesterday, yesterday and today) and needs Rs 5 Cr of last-session turnover. For stocks still waiting inside the range, see Inside Bar Compression. The mirror scan is Inside Bar Breakdown (Sell Side).

How To Use This Scan
- •Check the breakout candle's volume. A close above the inside bar on rising volume is more convincing than one on thin volume.
- •The inside bar's low is the usual stop reference. If the breakout candle gapped far above the high, the stop is wide, so size the position to it.
- •Look at the larger trend. A breakout in the direction of the 50 DMA and the sector has more support. This scan has not been back-tested for an edge.
