What it means

Support and resistance are practical reference areas where price may pause, reject, break through, or retest. Indicators often help keep those prices visible.

What to watch

These are zones of interest, not guaranteed turning points. The same area can act differently depending on volatility, participation, and broader context.

Where traders usually run into this

Support and Resistance matters most when it starts affecting an actual chart read, indicator setting, or workflow choice rather than staying as an abstract definition.
