📊 Support & Resistance

Support and resistance are key levels where price tends to pause, reverse, or react. They help traders understand where buyers and sellers are active.

💡 Think of support as a floor and resistance as a ceiling.

🎯 Why It Matters

These levels are used by almost every trader in the market. They help you decide where to enter, exit, and place stop losses.

✔ Identify strong buying & selling zones
✔ Improve entry and exit timing
✔ Reduce risk

📉 What is Support?

Support is a price level where demand (buyers) is strong enough to stop price from falling further.

Price tends to bounce upward
Buyers enter the market

🟢 Price often reacts UP from support.

📈 What is Resistance?

Resistance is a level where supply (sellers) is strong enough to stop price from rising.

Price tends to get rejected
Sellers dominate

🔴 Price often gets pushed DOWN from resistance.

This image shows a green line where the price has been visited/tested multiple times. When it finally broke below this level, the price continued moving downward. The same idea applies to resistance, but in reverse—when it breaks, the price usually moves upward.

Once a support level breaks, it turns into resistance. Simply put, when either support or resistance is clearly broken, it switches its role.

🔁 Role Reversal

One of the most powerful concepts in trading.

Broken resistance → becomes support
Broken support → becomes resistance

⚡ Many high-probability trades happen during this transition.

📊 How to Draw Levels

Look for areas where price reacted multiple times
Draw zones, not exact lines
Use higher timeframes (1H, 4H, Daily) for stronger levels

💡 Stronger the level = more times price has respected it.

🚨 Breakouts & Fake Breakouts

When price moves strongly through a level, it is called a breakout. However, not all breakouts are real.

Breakout: Price continues after breaking level
Fake Breakout: Price reverses quickly (trap)

🚫 Don’t enter instantly — wait for confirmation like retest or candlestick pattern.

🔗 How to Use in Trading

Buy near support (with confirmation)
Sell near resistance
Trade breakouts with proper risk management

🎯 Best setup = Support/Resistance + Trend + Confirmation

📊 Simple Example

If price repeatedly bounces from ₹100, that level becomes strong support. Traders look to buy near this level with proper confirmation.

💡 Combine with candlestick patterns for higher accuracy.
