Reading Support and Resistance Like a Trader

Support and resistance are not magic lines. They are areas where orders, expectations, and prior decisions meet.

Start with structure

Mark the levels that caused a clear displacement, then check whether price respected them more than once. A level with context is more useful than a crowded chart.

Wait for confirmation

Let price show rejection or acceptance before defining an entry. Place invalidation beyond the structure that supports the idea, and keep position size consistent with the risk.
