What Support and Resistance Are
Support is a price level where buying demand has historically been strong enough to prevent further decline. Resistance is a price level where selling pressure has historically prevented further advance. These levels form because many traders remember the same past prices and act similarly when those prices are revisited, creating self-fulfilling price behaviour.
How to Identify Them on the Investography Chart
Using These Levels for Alert Placement
Once you have identified a key resistance level, set a price_above alert just above it. This catches the breakout the moment it clears. For a key support level, set a price_below alert just beneath it. If price falls through support, the alert fires and you can decide whether to exit or investigate the breakdown further.
Price alerts set at confirmed support and resistance levels are significantly more actionable than alerts set at arbitrary numbers. A level that has held three times before carries more weight than a level selected purely because it represents a round number.
Level Strength
The more times a level has been tested without breaking, the stronger it is — and the more significant the move when it eventually does break. On the CSE, where institutional memory of past prices is strong among the relatively small community of active participants, well-established levels tend to hold until a major catalyst changes the supply/demand dynamic.
