✅ What Is an S/R Flip in Trading?
S/R stands for:
Support
Resistance
An S/R flip (Support/Resistance Flip) is when a previous resistance becomes new support — or when a previous support becomes new resistance.
🔁 Why Does This Happen?
Because the level was important to traders before, and now the market respects it in the opposite way.
It’s a sign that market sentiment has shifted.
📉 Example 1: Resistance → Support
1. Price struggles to break above a level = resistance
2. Eventually breaks above
3. Comes back down and bounces from that same level
➡️ Now it's acting as support
📈 Example 2: Support → Resistance
1. Price keeps bouncing from a level = support
2. Finally breaks below
3. Comes back up and gets rejected from that level
➡️ Now it’s acting as resistance
🧠 Why It Matters:
S/R flips are key confirmation tools.
When you see a flip + other signals (volume, trend, pattern) → you’ve got confluence = stronger trade setup.
