Support — Explained in Plain Language

A price level where buying tends to overcome selling, pausing or reversing declines.

In plain words

Support is like the floor of a room. Prices often bounce when they reach it — although the floor can sometimes break.

Level by level

Beginner

When price falls to a level where lots of buyers wait, it often bounces — like a ball hitting the floor.

Intermediate

Support marks where demand has historically absorbed supply. The more times it holds, the more significant it becomes — until it breaks.

Advanced

Support is a demand zone shaped by order flow and memory of prior transactions; a decisive break often flips it into resistance (polarity).

Key takeaways

• Buyers tend to defend support.
• A broken support can become resistance.
• More tests = more significant level.

Memory tip: Support = the floor under the price.
