# Strategy: Momentum · Breakout
## When to use
A user asks for "breakout", "momentum", "trend following", "buy new highs", "Donchian breakout", "range expansion". Single or multi-pair, hour-scale, with a trailing stop.
## Honest framing
The reference backtest was **unprofitable** (36% WR, −0.95% PnL) on `BTC/USDC:USDC` 1h Jan-May 2026 — but BTC fell **−13%** in that window. **Long-only breakouts in a downtrend are structurally a losing setup.** The strategy is correct; the regime was wrong.
Two practical paths to make this work:
- **Add a regime filter** (e.g. only enter when `close > ema_200` on the higher timeframe).
- **Run on a wider, multi-pair scan** so trending alts contribute even when BTC is weak.
