Support and Resistance — the Foundation of Charts

S/R are price memory: floors where buyers historically appeared, ceilings where sellers did.

Level by level

Beginner

Draw ZONES, not lines — markets respect areas. The more touches and the higher the volume there, the more the level matters.

Intermediate

Polarity is the superpower: broken resistance becomes support (and vice versa). Retests of flipped levels are among the highest-quality entries in trading.

Advanced

Levels concentrate liquidity: stops cluster beyond them, which is why false breaks (stop hunts) are common right before the real move. Trade the retest, not the first poke.

Common mistakes

• Drawing 15 lines until everything is a level
• Buying the first touch of support in a waterfall downtrend
