an abstract representation of the control state of a computer program

In computer science and computer programming, a continuation is an abstract representation of the control state of a computer program.

the state of a computation that has not yet finished

But the idea of what a continuation is, is straightforward: a continuation is the state of a computation that has not yet finished.

a breakout pattern whereby following a pause in a trend (also known as consolidation; characterized by a period of range-bound movement), price breaks out resuming in the original trend direction

A continuation is a breakout pattern whereby following a pause in a trend (also known as consolidation; characterized by a period of range-bound movement), price breaks out resuming in the original trend direction.

a way of capturing 'the rest of the computation'

Continuations are a way of capturing 'the rest of the computation', saving the computation, and perhaps executing the computation more than once.
