What are Support and Resistance Levels?
In stock trading, support and resistance are price levels where a stock’s upward or downward momentum temporarily stops and reverses. Think of a bouncing ball in a room. The floor is “support”—it prevents the ball from falling further and bounces it upward. The ceiling is “resistance”—it stops the ball from rising and pushes it back down.
In the market, support is a price floor at which enough buyers step in to prevent a stock from dropping. Resistance is the ceiling where sellers take over, preventing the price from climbing higher. For everyday investors, identifying these invisible barriers is incredibly helpful. Spotting these trends helps you time your moves, such as buying a stock near its support floor or taking profits near its resistance ceiling, to maximise your returns.
