Break of structure is a specific Trading coordinate in the Bitcoin knowledge graph. In practical terms, it identifies the subject described here: A breach of a prior swing point interpreted as a possible change or continuation in market structure. This definition is narrower than promotional usage and should be read together with the implementation, date and evidence attached to the entry.
Break of structure is best understood as part of a system rather than as an isolated definition. Its related coordinates show the mechanisms, incentives and historical records that give the term practical meaning.
Break of structure describes how participants value, trade or obtain exposure to bitcoin. Market behavior can affect adoption and mining economics, but it does not rewrite consensus rules. Price evidence and protocol evidence answer different questions.
Understanding Break of structure helps distinguish a verifiable Bitcoin mechanism or historical record from slogans, products and market narratives.
Primary or authoritative records make these details checkable: break of structure is a discretionary price-action label for price crossing a previously selected swing high or low; a reproducible rule must define pivots, wick versus close, timeframe and invalidation. They should be verified before using the coordinate in analysis.
The practical limit is: the label does not prove institutional order flow or trend continuation; changing swing selection changes the signal; retrospective chart annotation creates look-ahead and selection bias. A definition, office, chart pattern or published claim is not by itself a prediction or Bitcoin consensus rule.
