Support and resistance are the most important parts of technical analysis. Knowing these helps you easily understand where price may stop, reverse, or breakout.
✅ How to determine support and resistance
🟩 1. Look for swing low and swing high on the chart
Support: where price has repeatedly bounced after coming down.
Resistance: where price has been repeatedly rejected after going up.
➤ Example:
If the candle body or wick stops at the same place 2-3 times, it’s a strong level.
🟩 2. Look for round numbers
In crypto, prices often stop at 0.10, 1, 5, 10, 50, 100.
These are places where big traders place orders.
🟩 3. Volume profile/volume cluster
Where there is high volume trading → those are strong support/resistance.
🟩 4. Previous resistance becomes new support
When price breaks above a resistance, it often acts as support again.
This is called: R → S Flip
In the same way,
When support breaks, it often becomes new resistance: S → R Flip
🟩 5. EMA / MA levels also serve as support-resistance
Especially:
EMA 20
EMA 50
EMA 200
Price may pause or bounce when it approaches these levels.
🟩 6. Timeframe dependent levels
High timeframe (1D, 4H) → Strong level
Low timeframe (1H, 15m, 5m) → Scalping level
Golden Rule:
Always mark support & resistance on higher timeframe first.
🟩 7. Using trendlines
In an uptrend, a downward sloping line (Higher Lows) → Dynamic Support
In a downtrend, an upward sloping line (Lower Highs) → Dynamic Resistance
🟩 8. Simple rules for marking support-resistance
1️⃣ Draw a line at the level where there have been 2–3 rejections/bounces
2️⃣ If there are too many wicks, draw through the middle of the wick
3️⃣ Make slight adjustments with the body close
4️⃣ Think of it like a level, take it as a zone, not a straight line.
