# Support & Resistance

In trading, **Support** and **Resistance** (S/R) are key price levels where markets tend to **pause, reverse**, or **consolidate**:

* **Support**: A price level where demand is strong enough to halt a decline.
* **Resistance**: A level where selling pressure may stop a rally.

These levels are not always exact lines, they often act as **zones** where price reacts due to **liquidity**, **order clustering**, or **market memory**. Think of them like invisible "floors and ceilings" that price respects.

The **S/R Pivots** feature automatically shows key support and resistance **zones** on your chart as **gray blocks** with **% labels**.

* The **gray bars** = important price zones
* The **% number** = how strong the level is\
  → Higher % = price reacted more at that level in the past

Example:

* `78.30%` = strong resistance
* `44.73%` = decent support<br>

#### <mark style="color:$success;">Looking to Buy?</mark>

* Wait for price to **come down to a support zone**
* If it **bounces up** from the zone → you can **enter a long trade**
* Put your **stop-loss** just below the zone

#### <mark style="color:$warning;">Looking to Sell?</mark>

* Wait for price to **come up to a resistance zone**
* If it **gets rejected and drops** → you can **enter a short trade**
* Put your **stop-loss** just above the zone
* **Take Profit**: Exit your trade at the next S/R level
* **Break + Retest**: If price breaks a zone, wait for it to come back and test it — then enter
* **Stacking Zones**: If 2–3 zones are close together, it’s a very strong level

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
