A breakout is only as good as the volume behind it. This scan finds NSE stocks breaking above their 20-day SMA on above-average volume — combining a price breakout with the participation needed to confirm it.
Breakout traders use this to filter for confirmed moves, entering as price clears the 20 SMA with volume and placing a stop back below the breakout level.
Even confirmed breakouts fail. Volume improves the odds but does not guarantee follow-through, so risk management remains essential.

It is a price breakout backed by above-average volume. This scan requires a stock to clear its 20-day SMA while trading on higher-than-normal volume — a sign the move has real participation.
Volume reflects conviction. Breakouts on strong volume are more likely to hold, while low-volume breakouts frequently reverse, trapping buyers.
