What is the support and resistance?
In market terminology, 'support' is like a floor that stops a bouncing ball from falling further. It's a level where buying is strong enough to lift the price back up. Just as a ball bounces up after hitting the floor.
Now, imagine 'resistance' as a ceiling the ball hits after bouncing. It's a level where selling is so strong that it stops the ball (or price) from going higher. Once it hits this ceiling, the ball (or price) might start going down again.
