Psychological Resistance

Definition

Psychological Resistance in financial markets refers to a price level at which selling pressure is anticipated to increase, often due to a significant number of investors who previously purchased an asset at that price and are now seeking to sell at breakeven. This level is based on collective human behavior and past price memory, acting as a barrier to further price increases. It represents a behavioral phenomenon influencing market dynamics. It is a self-fulfilling prophecy for some traders.
