Support and resistance levels

Level, which the price cannot break up, called уровень сопротивления (Resistance), and the level, который цена не может пробить вниз, called level support (Support).

Resistance level (resistance level)

This is nothing more than a psychological level, which a significant number of traders regard as a point, profitable in terms of sale. Such a unity of opinion among a large group of people leads to the fact, that when prices approach a line or resistance level, a significant number of market participants begin to sell orders on the market, либо с помощью размещенных заранее отложенных ордеров.

Массовое размещение ордеров и как результат массовые продажи как бы отталкивают цену от невидимой лини, to which she comes from below.

Support level (support level)

Considered by traders as a level, where it is profitable to buy for any reason, therefore, purchases occur here at current market prices and buy orders are triggered, заранее установленные трейдерами.

Usually, clusters of orders are not placed on the same level, and in a certain price zone, forming an indistinctlevel поддержки или сопротивления, and support or resistance zone.

Placing homogeneous orders in the same zones occurs because, that various traders, используя сходные правила технического анализа, calculate approximately the same price level for sales and purchases, результатом чего является обратная связь между методами технического анализа и характером рыночных движений.

When prices go out of a sideways range or out of a channel, пробивая один из levels (поддержку или сопротивление), usually, there is an acceleration of movement. Therefore, when the resistance level is broken through, a buy signal appears, and when the support level is broken, a sell signal. These signals are referred to as opening, так и к закрытию позиций.

Why is there an acceleration of movement? Usually, за границами канала устанавливают стоп приказы на закрытие позиций торгующих в нем трейдеров. Since the stop orders for closing from those who sold these are buy orders (reverse orders, по которым позиция открывалась), then when the price passes the zone of concentration of stop orders (after breaking through the resistance zone) the movement begins to accelerate due to the massive execution of these buy orders.

Тоже самое относится и к support area: since stop orders of those who bought are concentrated behind it and these stop orders – это ордера на закрытие позиции, то есть на продажу, то цена после пробития зоны поддержки начинает ускоренно падать вниз за счет массового исполнения приказов на продажу.

It turns out, that such zones, due to the massive accumulation of orders, for a short time change the balance of supply and demand, causing acceleration of price movement. Is considered, что этим свойством рынка иногда пользуются крупные игроки. Крупными вливаниями в рынок они выводят цену в зону скопления стоп-ордеров, so that the market then independently continues its directional movement.

Often enough, при выходе из одного канала с соответствующим пробитием уровней поддержки и сопротивления цена попадает в новый канал, at the same time, the old resistance level can become a new support level or the old support level can become a new resistance.
