How Support and Resistance levels helps you to Book Profit at Right Time

by tipsfortrade on October 29, 2009

SUPPORT AND RESISTANCE LEVELS

SUPPORT is that area where buying interest exceeds selling interest, and therefore a previous decline gets halted at this area and turns back up again. It is marked by drawing a horizontal line connecting two or more bottoms.

RESISTANCE is that area where selling pressure exceeds buying interest. It is an area where previous rallies get halted and turn down again. It is marked by drawing a horizontal line connecting two or more tops.

Support and Resistance are not absolute points. They are areas.

When Support breaks to the downside, we call that a Down Side Breakout or Breakdown. When Resistance breaks to the upside, we call that a Breakout.

When we get a breakdown below support, that area of support now becomes an area of resistance. The area of support broke down and that same area is now acting as Resistance.

A breakout above Resistance, and that same area of resistance now becomes a new Support.

These are important areas for every trader, either as an entry point or an area to take profits.

There is more on Supports and Resistances. We’ll go over them slowly and with examples … but slow and steady for now.
