What is Resistance?
Resistance is a price area where rising price has tended to slow or stop in the past, as if it hit a ceiling. It often forms where sellers have repeatedly stepped in before. Resistance is an area of interest, not a guarantee, and price can break above it.
Why Resistance matters
Resistance marks levels traders watch for reactions, which helps frame where price has struggled before.
