The Support & Resistance Made Simple: Find, Confirm and Trade with Confidence

Introduction to Support and Resistance

Technical analysis is based on support and resistance. They are the most important levels where buyers or sellers consistently enter the market and influence the future of prices.

Support acts as a floor, where demand is likely to halt the downward movement of prices. Resistance acts as a ceiling, where supply prevents prices from moving higher.

They might look easy at a glance, but knowing how to properly draw, confirm, and trade them provides one of the greatest advantages in trading.

The Biggest Lessons of Support & Resistance

  • Recognize strong zones on charts based on highs, lows, and closing prices.
  • Understand the psychology behind these levels.
  • Identify the role of volume in validating the strength of support or resistance.
  • Test zones across multiple timeframes to check their accuracy.
  • Apply support and resistance across all markets: stocks, forex, crypto, and commodities.

Types of Support & Resistance

  • Horizontal Levels: Based on historical swing highs and lows.
  • Dynamic Levels: Moving averages, trendlines, and channels.
  • Round Numbers (Psychological Levels): 100, 1000, 50000 etc. where traders react strongly.
  • Fibonacci Levels: Key retracement levels (38.2%, 50%, 61.8%) used by professionals.

The Importance of Support and Resistance

  • Help in determining clear entry and exit areas.
  • Provide precise points to place stop-loss and targets.
  • Indicate whether the market is continuing its trend or preparing to reverse.
  • Offer high-probability trades when combined with candlestick and volume analysis.

Psychology Behind Support and Resistance

  • Support: Buyers defend their positions; new traders see value at lower prices.
  • Resistance: Sellers lock in profits; short-sellers take advantage of overvaluation.
  • Breakouts: When support/resistance is broken with high volume, it signals strong new momentum.
  • Fakeouts: Big players sometimes trap retailers with false breakouts before reversing.
