Learn how to mark zones and avoid fake precision.
Definition
Support is a zone where buying repeatedly appears. Resistance is a zone where selling repeatedly appears.
Use zones, not single lines
Markets rarely respect perfect lines. Draw a zone around repeated reactions and let price show you if it respects that area.
How to mark zones
- Zoom out first.
- Mark clear swing highs and lows.
- Prefer levels with multiple touches.
- Keep zones wider when unsure.
Practical tip
If your zone is too tight, you will get faked out. Wider zones reduce false precision.
Common traps
- Forcing levels everywhere.
- Ignoring trend direction.
- Entering before confirmation.
Warning
Support can break. It is a probability tool, not a guarantee.
