Structural Price Resistance

Definition

Structural price resistance denotes a price level at which a significant amount of selling pressure is anticipated, hindering further upward price movement. This level is often established by historical trading activity, such as previous market tops, large volume distribution zones, or key technical analysis indicators. It represents a psychological and technical barrier where market participants who bought at higher prices or wish to take profits are likely to sell. Overcoming structural resistance typically requires substantial buying volume and strong market momentum.
