Here's something that messes with beginners: support and resistance are the same line.
A level where price bounced three times is support. Everyone sees it. Then one day it breaks. Panic.
But watch what happens next: price rallies back TO that same line โ and gets rejected. The old floor is now the ceiling.
Why? Everyone who bought at support and held through the break is desperate to โget out even.โ Their sell orders stack up exactly there.
Broken support becomes resistance. Donโt buy the retest.
