On PEPS Crypto the tool is built into the dashboard with automatically refreshed data — use filters, rankings and linked tools to validate every signal before acting.
What is this tool?
Breakout Scanner finds range compression setups and flags breakout, breakdown or pre-setup states with a volume filter and ATR-based risk levels.
Breakout / Breakdown levels mark the range edges derived from recent price action on the selected timeframe.
Status shows whether price already broke out, broke down, or is still in a pre-setup phase inside the range.
How to read the results
Status shows whether price already broke out, broke down, or is still in a pre-setup phase inside the range.
Volume OK means current volume is above the EMA baseline — breakouts with weak volume are down-ranked.
Entry, stop and TP1 are reference levels for planning; open the detail panel for TP2/TP3 and trailing rules.
Long / Short filters help focus on directional breakouts matching your trading bias.
Key signals and metrics
Volume OK means current volume is above the EMA baseline — breakouts with weak volume are down-ranked.
Entry, stop and TP1 are reference levels for planning; open the detail panel for TP2/TP3 and trailing rules.
Long / Short filters help focus on directional breakouts matching your trading bias.
Advanced usage and combinations
False breakouts are common — prefer setups with Volume OK and alignment with the higher timeframe trend.
Pre-setup rows are watchlist candidates, not active signals until price closes beyond the range edge.
Tight ranges on 1H can whipsaw; 4H and 1D filters often produce cleaner structural breaks.

Frequently asked questions
- How reliable are the signals from this tool?
- Treat every reading as a hypothesis. Strong setups usually agree across multiple rows, timeframes or linked PEPS engines — not from a single highlighted value alone.
- Is this tool suitable for beginners?
- Yes. Start with one symbol or one ranked row, read the labels and confirmation panels, then open linked tools before sizing a live position.
- How often is the data updated?
- Refresh cadence depends on the engine — many trading scanners update every few minutes; on-chain and mining feeds may run on hourly timers. Check the Updated timestamp on the tool page.
