Technical analysis in practice

Lesson 2 of 6 11 min read

Support, resistance and key levels

Drawing levels that matter and ignoring those that don't.

What a level is

A zone where price has repeatedly reacted. It reflects where buyers or sellers previously stepped in. Treat levels as zones, not exact lines.

Role reversal

Broken resistance often becomes support on a retest, and vice versa. Retests are common places to plan entries with a nearby invalidation.

Less is more

Mark only the clearest few levels on the higher timeframe. A chart covered in lines leads to indecision.

Key takeaways

  • Levels are zones of prior reaction.
  • Broken levels often flip roles.
  • Keep only the most obvious levels.

Exercise

Draw no more than four levels on BTC's daily chart. Check how price behaved at each over the last month.
