DAX breakouts vs. follow-through

Watching the DAX lately, I've noticed it often makes a strong move past a previous high or low, but then the follow-through is just... meh. Like it gets everyone excited and then fizzles. Am I overthinking this or is there a general tendency for these initial breakout moves to lack sustained momentum, especially around key economic data releases? How do you guys filter these? Seems like I'm getting caught faked out too often.
