Support and Resistance
📊 Support & Resistance Explained
Support and resistance are key price levels on a chart where the market tends to react. These levels form because of buying and selling behavior.
🔽 Support (Floor)
Support is a price level where the market stops falling and starts bouncing up.
- It forms because buyers step in at that level
- Demand is strong enough to hold price up
- Think of it as a floor under price
👉 When price comes back to support, traders look for buying opportunities
🔼 Resistance (Ceiling)
Resistance is a price level where the market struggles to go higher and often reverses down.
- It forms because sellers step in
- Supply is strong enough to push price down
- Think of it as a ceiling above price
👉 When price reaches resistance, traders look for selling opportunities
🔄 Why They Work
Support and resistance exist because of:
- Psychology (traders remember levels)
- Order flow (buyers and sellers stacked at prices)
- Previous reactions (price tends to repeat behavior)
🔁 Role Reversal (Important Concept)
When a level breaks:
- Old resistance can become new support
- Old support can become new resistance
👉 This is one of the most powerful concepts in trading
📈 How to Identify Them
- Look for areas where price reacted multiple times
- Use horizontal lines, not exact prices (zones > lines)
- Focus on: Previous highs (resistance) Previous lows (support)
⚠️ Key Tip
Support and resistance are not guaranteed to hold.
They are areas of probability, not certainty.
💡 Final Thought
Support and resistance help you understand where the market is likely to react—not predict the future, but stack probabilities in your favor.
