What defines support and resistance in trading?

Support is a price level where buying interest is strong, preventing further price declines. Resistance is where selling pressure is strong, hindering upward price movement.

How are support and resistance levels identified on charts?

They are typically identified by connecting previous price highs (resistance) or lows (support). Other tools like trendlines, moving averages, and Fibonacci levels also help.

Why are these levels crucial for traders?

Support and resistance help traders identify potential entry/exit points, set stop-loss orders, and gauge market sentiment, aiding in risk management and strategic decision-making.

Can support and resistance levels switch roles?

Yes, frequently. Once a resistance level is broken, it can act as new support, and a broken support level can become new resistance. This is known as "role reversal."
