Support and resistance

Support and resistance levels is a basic concept of technical analysis. They are widely used to identify levels at which a trend of a financial instrument may be interrupted and reversed. These levels are denoted by price price turning points and multiple touches of price without a breakthrough of the level.

A support level is a price level where buying interest is sufficiently strong and where the price trends to find support as it falls.

A resistance level is the opposite: it is defined as a price level where buying interest is sufficiently weak and where the price trends to find resistance as it rises.

Over time, price fluctuates between these two levels. However, once the price has soared above resistance lines or broke through support lines, market participants assume a change in market sentiment.
