Support is an area where buying interest has previously slowed or reversed a decline. Resistance is an area where selling interest has previously slowed or reversed a rise.
These are not magic lines. They are memory on the chart—places where traders may pay attention again. Levels can break, flip roles, or stop mattering as conditions change.
Price rarely respects a single tick forever. Marking a zone around clustered highs/lows, round numbers or prior swing points is usually more realistic than expecting exact touches. Wicks can pierce a zone and still leave the broader idea intact—until structure clearly fails.
Price moves through a prior zone. Meaningful breakouts often show follow-through; weak ones reverse quickly.
After a break, price returns to the zone. Former resistance can act as support (and vice versa)—sometimes, not always.
A break that cannot hold often traps late entries. Defining invalidation before entry helps limit damage.
Daily or higher structure sets the larger map. Lower timeframes help with timing inside that map. Fighting a clear higher-timeframe trend with a tiny lower-timeframe pattern is a common beginner error.
Use Market Replay to draw support, resistance and swing structure without seeing the next move—then review where your map helped or misled.
