Support and Resistance Break
A support and resistance break occurs when the price of an asset moves through a level that previously acted as a floor or a ceiling. These levels are critical psychological and technical markers in the market.
A break of support suggests that the bears have taken control and that the price is likely to move lower, while a break of resistance indicates that the bulls are in charge and the price is likely to move higher. These breaks are often accompanied by increased volume and momentum, confirming the strength of the move and providing traders with clear signals for trend entry.
