📊 Support and Resistance: Basics for Traders
If you are a beginner in trading, understanding support and resistance is key to successful chart analysis.
🟩 What is support?
-Support is a level below which the price does not fall. It's like a floor: when the price reaches this point, buyers start to buy the asset, and the price bounces back up.
Example:
-Bitcoin has fallen to $102,000 three times, and each time it bounced back — this is strong support.
🟥 What is resistance?
-Resistance is a level above which the price cannot break through. It's like a ceiling: when the price jumps up, it encounters sellers and bounces back down.
Example:
Ethereum has risen to $2600 twice, but did not go higher — this is a resistance zone.
↕ How do they work together?
-The price can move between support and resistance, like a ball between the floor and the ceiling (range).
🔄 What is important:
-Breaking resistance upwards = it becomes support.
-Breaking support downwards = it can become resistance.
🧠 How to use?
-Buy at support
-Sell at resistance
-Look at volumes and patterns for confirmation of a breakout
☕Tip:
Do not set levels "to the penny." These are ZONES, not precise lines.
