Support and Resistance Levels

What You’ll Learn

  • Support and resistance levels are crucial concepts in trading
  • Identifying support and resistance levels using trend lines and pivot points
  • Major pivots are support/resistance levels that lead to trend continuation (higher highs and higher lows in an uptrend, lower highs and lower lows in a downtrend)
  • Minor pivots are support/resistance levels that don’t lead to immediate trend continuation
  • Confluence of factors (e.g., trend lines and pivot points) can increase the probability of a successful trade
  • Multiple time frame analysis: identifying trends within trends
  • The goal is to catch the middle 70% of a trend, not perfectly buying the lows and selling the highs
  • Trading in the direction of the bigger picture trend (e.g., buying in an uptrend)
  • Using lower time frames to better understand price action and identify trend reversals
  • Horizontal support and resistance levels are key, formed by higher lows and higher highs in an uptrend, or lower highs and lower lows in a downtrend
  • Other tools like moving averages and Fibonacci retracements can help identify support and resistance levels
