Introduction to support and resistance lines

Monday, December 8th, 2008

What are they?

A support line (or support level) is a price value that acted as a floor, blocking the price from moving lower.

A resistance line (or resistance level) is a price value that acted as a ceiling, blocking the price from moving higher.

Support and resistance lines must have at least two points where the price was blocked and they need to have historical significance. I generally look for at least three bounces from a line to consider it a relevant one. Also, lines that acted both as support and resistance, hold much greater significance.

The same lines are used for tens of years. We can use these lines to sell or buy when the price gets near them. The idea is that price will react at these levels, in one of two ways: breakout (they break the level) or reversal (price bounces off the level and gets blocked).
