Support and Resistance

Definition

Support and resistance are fundamental concepts in technical analysis, referring to price levels where a financial asset’s downward trend tends to halt or reverse (support) and where an upward trend tends to halt or reverse (resistance). These levels are established by previous price action and represent psychological barriers for market participants. Support indicates a concentration of buying interest, while resistance signifies a concentration of selling interest. They provide insights into potential future price movements.
