You drew the lines. Price reacted. But the trade still failed. Why? Support and resistance aren’t magic—they’re misunderstood. Here’s how to actually use them like a pro.
Most traders think S/R are exact lines. But they’re not.
They are zones of interest—areas where buyers or sellers may step in, not precise price points.
Support and resistance are built from bids and asks, not from lines you drew last month. And contrary to popular belief—they get weaker, not stronger, with every touch.
Why?
Because each touch fills more orders, leaving less behind. So that “strong” support might actually be exhausted liquidity.
Instead of blindly buying support or shorting resistance, focus on S/R flips—when support turns into resistance or vice versa. That’s where the real edge is.
Zones, not lines. Reactions, not predictions.
That’s how pros trade S/R. The rest is noise.
