Support and resistance are one of the most popular tools that any trader can use to find the possible upcoming bullish and bearish trends. however, I have seen many traders struggle to find the best levels and which results in wrong trading decisions and bad trades.

What is the Support and Resistance level?

Support and resistance are manually drawn levels by the traders.  These levels are the key price areas from where the price is certainly going to bounce back up or down. increase or decrease in price is due to supply and demand when the demand is greater than supply the price rises and is assumed to keep rising until it reaches the resistance level and vice versa when the supply is greater than demand the price is likely to fall until it reaches the support level.

Pros of Support and Resistance level

•  Technical analysts use support and resistance levels to identify the upcoming possible bullish and bearish trends.

Cons of using Support and Resistance
