Where price has reacted before

Support — a zone where buying interest historically slowed or reversed a decline.

Resistance — a zone where selling pressure historically slowed or reversed a rise.

These are zones, not exact lines. Markets are not precise machines — allow a buffer around key levels.

How to mark levels

  • Find areas where price reversed multiple times.
  • Use higher timeframes (H4, Daily) for stronger levels.
  • When support breaks, it may act as resistance later (role reversal).
