Support and Resistance Mastery: Flip Zones and Market Turn Prediction

Technicals • Price Action • Strategy • Published

If you stripped away every indicator, what is left? **Price.** Support and Resistance (S&R) is the visual representation of **human psychology (Fear and Greed)** and institutional orders. We will teach you how to draw **Key Levels (Zones)** that banks actually respect.


1. The Golden Rule: Zones, Not Lines

Price is rarely a perfect number. It is an **area** due to bank orders being spread out and broker price differences.

**How to fix it:** Use the **"Rectangle Tool"** instead of the "Horizontal Line" tool. Draw a zone that covers the Wicks and the Bodies of the reversal candles.

2. The "Flip" Zone (Role Reversal)

The most powerful concept: **Resistance becomes Support**.

**The Psychology:** Bears who sold at Resistance are trapped when price breaks up. They wait for price to return to the level to **exit their shorts (buy)**. New Bulls also buy here. Result: **Explosive Buying Pressure.**

3. Key Levels and Strength Check

Use the **Top-Down Approach** (Weekly -> Daily -> H4) to ensure you only trade strong zones. **Round Numbers** (e.g., 2000.00, 1.1000) are major psychological levels that banks respect.

4. Final Thoughts on Risk

Trading without Support and Resistance is like building a house without a foundation. Keep your charts clean and draw only the most obvious levels. If you have to squint to see it, it's not there. Monitor the structural flow of the market via the Realtime Market Dashboard.
