What structural signature identifies a 'False Breakout' that is likely to trap participants and lead to a violent reversal?

1. A breakout on heavy Volume that builds a freshly accepted new POC right at the session extreme as price firmly holds there.
2. A Normal Variation day that simply extends the Initial Balance by roughly 150% in the dominant direction.
3. A probe above a prior high that lacks Acceptance (no volume at the high) followed by a sharp return to the Value Area.
4. Price gapping cleanly through a Naked POC and then printing a strong Buying Tail right at the lower extreme.
