Support and resistance
Also known as: S/R, supply and demand
Support is a price level where buying tends to halt declines; resistance is a level where selling tends to halt advances.
These zones form where price has repeatedly reversed, leaving memory in the market. A broken resistance often becomes support and vice versa. They are used for entries, stop placement and targets across virtually every trading style.
