Resistance Definition
Description
Resistance in trading and technical analysis refers to a specific price level or range where a financial asset, such as a stock or currency, tends to encounter selling pressure or supply.
It acts as a price ceiling, hindering or reversing upward price movements. At these resistance levels, traders and investors often see the asset as relatively overvalued, leading to increased selling activity.
These resistance levels are crucial reference points for traders when making decisions, such as exiting positions or considering potential reversals in price trends.
