# Breaker Blocks

A breaker block occurs when an order block fails, resulting in a significant shift in market structure.

This concept marks a critical juncture where the price reverses its previous trend direction, often indicating the potential for a new trend to emerge.

For traders, breaker blocks represent key moments of transition in the market, offering strategic entry points for trades based on the expected continuation of the new trend.

By identifying breaker blocks, traders can capitalize on these shifts, positioning themselves to take advantage of the market's evolving dynamics.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.candelacharts.com/toolkits/block-concepts-tm/breaker-blocks.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
