why supports & resistances work (words from masters)

"A very significant part of the reason

prices appear to “bounce”off

support and resistance levels

is that many traders have observed

this effect and expect to see it in the future!

--

Therefore,

support andresistance is partly

a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Traders buy at support levels

in expectation of the rise in prices

due to the support itself.

--

Traders sell at resistance levels

in expectation of the decline in prices

due to the resistance itself.

--

When multiplied,

these effects make support and resistance

one of the most powerful concepts intrading.

The behavior of market participants

reinforces the effects themselves."
