By   |  Beginners  |  Dec 03, 2008 12:00AM GMT  |  Add a Comment
 

As price moves up and down on our charts,it encounters “barriers” along the way. If this barrier acts like a floor, keeping price from dropping any lower, it is known in trading terminology as support. When it acts more as a ceiling and stands in the way of upward moves, it is called resistance.What is interesting to note is that if a certain price level acts as resistance on the way up (such as the doji candle which highlights a moment of market indecision on the way upat 1.4848 in the example on the right), then it also has a high probability of acting assupport on the way back down (and viceversa).
