Resistance
Definition
A price level where selling tends to overcome buying, capping advances.
Psychology
When price rises to a level where lots of sellers wait, it often stalls — like bumping into a ceiling.
Real-life analogy
💡 Resistance is like a ceiling. Prices often struggle to move above it until buyers become strong enough.
Key takeaways
- Sellers tend to defend resistance.
- A broken resistance can become support.
- Breakouts need conviction (often volume).
Memory tip
🧠 Resistance = the ceiling above the price.
