support and assistance The equation of demand and supply the battle between bulls and bears is what leads the market
when the boys are in control the man and consequentially price increases when the
Bears and in control supply and consequentially price decreases what
makes the price go up and down is the presence of large buy orders more buyers
than sellers what makes the price go down is the presence of large orders
more sellers than buyers when price moves sideways there is equal strength
between buyers and sellers this equilibrium between the Bulls the
pioneers in the Bears the seller's maintains the price within a specific
training when the ball's gain control over the Bears price will break out of
the sideways trading range and we start moving up on the other hand when the
Bears gain control over the Bulls price will break out of the side and will
start moving now when looking at charts we are constantly looking at the
interaction between balls the buyers and bears the seller's when strong buying of

further the price level is referred to as support their support level is an
area where I hear is expected to take control over price action the logic
behind support is that when the price drops down to a certain price level yet
thanked interested buyers and discourages sellers from selling at a
lower price support levels are generally located below current price levels the line at the party represents support
when strong selling around the specific price level preventing the price from
rising further that price level is referred to as resistance resistance

action the logic behind resistance is that when the price increases up to a
certain level sellers are more inclined to sell and caching and buyers are less
interested in purchasing resistance levels are generally looking above
current price levels the line at the top represents places usually priced rates
near the support and resistance levels therefore instead of thinking support
and resistance levels it is at times more appropriate to Fink support and
resistance areas or zones
