Trading with Support and Resistance
Introduction
Support and resistance are fundamental concepts in trading, essential for understanding market dynamics. Rooted in supply and demand theory, they help traders make sense of seemingly random price movements.Understanding Support and Resistance
When you examine a chart, price actions might appear erratic. However, incorporating support and resistance reveals patterns. Before starting my trading journey, I observed stock tickers and noticed how the Dow Jones Industrial Average often struggled at certain price levels, particularly around round numbers.Resistance
Resistance occurs when rising prices reach a level where traders perceive them as too high, causing buying to slow down. For a price area to be considered resistance, it generally needs to be touched or nearly touched at least three times.Support
Conversely, support is where falling prices stop declining as they become attractive to buyers. Similar to retail sales, when a price drops to a perceived bargain level, buyer interest increases. The more times a price level is tested without breaking, the stronger the support or resistance is seen to be.Market Psychology
Sometimes, there's no clear reason for support or resistance levels other than collective belief. This perception can significantly influence market behavior, causing stalls or reversals. I've witnessed dramatic price shifts fueled by rumors, while other times, significant announcements had minimal impact.Understanding these psychological and technical factors is crucial in navigating the markets successfully.
By closely observing support and resistance, traders can gain valuable insights into market trends and potential turning points, ultimately aiding in more informed trading decisions.
