Support and resistance zones are price levels on a financial instrument’s chart where a large number of strong supports or resistances are concentrated within a small range of several dozen pips, depending on the direction in which the price is moving.
Breaking through these zones is often difficult because of the so-called ‘price memory,’ which causes the chart to reverse direction at each movement.
Breakouts of support and resistance zones typically occur only during strong price movements. In all other cases, the price chart may show weak activity for a long time and enter a sideways trend.
