Support and Resistance

Summary

Support and resistance are fundamental concepts in technical analysis that indicate where the price of an asset tends to stop and reverse direction, forming key levels.

Detailed Description

Support levels are price points below the current market price where buying interest is strong enough to overcome selling pressure, often preventing further price declines. Conversely, resistance levels are price points above the current market price where selling interest is strong enough to overcome buying pressure, often preventing further price increases. These levels are pivotal in determining market trends and are used by traders to make informed buy/sell decisions.
