What is Bracket?

A trading range in which the market is in balance.

In context

A bracket's boundaries are a matter of judgement. Two analysts may draw two different brackets on the same chart. And a move out of a bracket is only a test until acceptance outside it is established (the next section explains how). Many breakouts fail and return inside: they are failed breakouts, and they are common.
