What is a BREAK?

Can anyone explain it? I just just when a currency is going up and then reverses or what ?

Like a break out?

The way I understand it is that when the price breaks, it starts to rapidly go up/down right after major news or whatever.

You’ll have to be a little more specific. A break can mean different things depending on context.

Are you talking a price break, a break of support/resistance, or something else?
