Support and Resistance










Support and resistance levels are points where a chart experiences recurring upward or downward pressure. Support levels exist at lows while resistance levels exist at highs. Once these levels are broken, they tend to become the opposite. For example, if a support level is broken to the downside, that level often becomes a new resistance level. In a rising market, a resistance level that is broken could serve as support for the upward trend, while a broken support level in a falling market could serve as a new resistance level for the downward trend.
