What Are Support and Resistance Levels?
Support and resistance levels are fundamental concepts in technical analysis that help traders identify key price zones where buying or selling pressure is likely to emerge. A support level is a price point where demand is strong enough to prevent further decline, acting as a "floor" for the price. Conversely, a resistance level is where selling pressure prevents further advance, acting as a "ceiling."

Whether you're analyzing stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, or commodities, visualizing support and resistance helps you make more informed trading decisions by identifying potential entry points, exit targets, and stop-loss placements.
