  1. 0:00Most traders lose money in the markets
  2. 0:02because they don't understand one thing.
  3. 0:04And that one thing is super super
  4. 0:07simple, but it has a touch of complexity
  5. 0:10that you don't fully understand yet. And
  6. 0:13that one thing is resistance and
  7. 0:16support. In this video, I'm going to
  8. 0:18explain it in the most easy to
  9. 0:20understand terms, and it will unlock
  10. 0:23everything in your brain about day
  11. 0:25trading. Everybody draws these lines on
  12. 0:27charts and hopes that price bounces off
  13. 0:29of them. But let me ask you this
  14. 0:31question. If support is so strong, why
  15. 0:34does it break all the time? If
  16. 0:36resistance is so powerful, why do fake
  17. 0:38outs just completely destroy your
  18. 0:40account? It's not your fault. It's just
  19. 0:43bad education. You didn't create the
  20. 0:45foundation that you needed. I promise
  21. 0:48you, by the end of this video, you will
  22. 0:50never look at price action the same
  23. 0:52again. Let's break this down in plain
  24. 0:54simple English. Support is like the
  25. 0:58floor. Resistance is like the ceiling.
  26. 1:02Price bounces between them up and down.
  27. 1:06It's not magic. It's not random. It's
  28. 1:09not just lines. Now, let's dive deeper.
  29. 1:12Support is where a lot of people in the
  30. 1:14past have bought. So when price comes
  31. 1:18back to that spot, buyers step in again.
  32. 1:22Resistance is where a lot of people
  33. 1:24sold. So when price gets near that
  34. 1:27again, sellers try to stop it. It's just
  35. 1:30people remembering the pain or profit
  36. 1:33and reacting. Now let's get into why
  37. 1:36resistance turns into support and vice
  38. 1:39versa. Okay, so let's say you have
  39. 1:41resistance. Price hits this level and
  40. 1:44drops. Then one day, boom, price breaks
  41. 1:48through it. Guess what happens next? As
  42. 1:51the price comes back down after breaking
  43. 1:53out, it becomes support. Why? Because
  44. 1:58people who missed the move originally
  45. 2:01when it broke out, now they want in. And
  46. 2:04people who sold there are now stuck and
  47. 2:08want out. And smart traders, they wait
  48. 2:11for a retest to that level and buy. This
  49. 2:15is called a flip. And this flipping of
  50. 2:18levels is how market structure is born.
  51. 2:21Most people treat support and resistance
  52. 2:23like exact prices. Like I'll buy at
  53. 2:27exactly 1.1023.
  54. 2:29But price doesn't care about your
  55. 2:31number. Support and resistance are
  56. 2:34zones, not lines. They only matter if
  57. 2:38lots of people care about that zone. If
  58. 2:41no one cares, price slices through it
  59. 2:44like it's not even there. And if you try
  60. 2:47to trade every support bounce or every
  61. 2:49resistance touch, you will lose. So
  62. 2:52here's the rule. Don't trade the level.
  63. 2:55Trade the reaction at the level. Now,
  64. 2:58this is how to actually use support and
  65. 3:01resistance properly. And I'm going to
  66. 3:03give you a simple three-step method.
  67. 3:06Step one, look at where the price has
  68. 3:09bounced or dropped from before. These
  69. 3:12are zones of interest. Mark them with a
  70. 3:15box, not a line. Step two, wait for the
  71. 3:19price to come back to that zone. Step
  72. 3:22three, watch how it reacts. If price
  73. 3:27stalls, wicks, forms a big candle,
  74. 3:31buyers and sellers might be stepping in.
  75. 3:33If it breaks through with power, that
  76. 3:37level might flip sides. Don't guess. Let
  77. 3:41the market show you what it wants to do,
  78. 3:43then react. And if you're still
  79. 3:45struggling getting into a trade because

  92. 4:14Now the flipping of these support and
  93. 4:16resistance zones is known as market
  94. 4:20structure. Every time a level flips from
  95. 4:23resistance to support, it builds
  96. 4:26structure. That's how trends form.
  97. 4:30higher highs and higher lows and lower
  98. 4:34lows and lower highs. It's not
  99. 4:36complicated. It's just price breaking
  100. 4:39one level, flipping it, then doing it
  101. 4:42again. And every flip zone gives you
  102. 4:45another place to trade from with
  103. 4:47confidence. Support and resistance has
  104. 4:51100 names, but it's all the same. Some
  105. 4:54people call it support and resistance.
  106. 4:56Other people call it supply and demand.
  107. 4:59Some people say market structure and
  108. 5:02others say order blocks, but it's all
  109. 5:05the same. It's just price reacting to
  110. 5:07places where people care. The name
  111. 5:10doesn't matter. The reaction does. So,
  112. 5:13don't get lost in terms. Focus on how
  113. 5:16price behaves. Now, one of the massive
  114. 5:19unlocks that I discovered while learning
  115. 5:21how to trade was what volume tells you
  116. 5:24when price breaks a level. Hopefully
  117. 5:27from my explanation, you completely
  118. 5:29understand that price reacts at support
  119. 5:32and resistance. But how do you know if a
  120. 5:34breakout is going to be real or just a
  121. 5:36fake out? That's where volume helps.
  122. 5:40Volume is like the lie detector test for
  123. 5:42candles. If price breaks through a level
  124. 5:45and volume spikes up, that means a lot
  125. 5:48of people are behind that move. It's not
  126. 5:50just a little push, it's real momentum.
  127. 5:53But if price breaks a level and volume
  128. 5:56is low or falling, that's a red flag.
  129. 5:59It's like a trap. Here's a simple rule
  130. 6:01to follow. A strong breakout means
  131. 6:05strong volume and weak volume means be
  132. 6:09careful. Support and resistance is one
  133. 6:11of the first things that most traders
  134. 6:13learn when they get started. But
  135. 6:15unfortunately, a lot of people learn it
  136. 6:17wrong or they have the incorrect
  137. 6:19understanding of why and how all of
  138. 6:21these areas work. Support and resistance
  139. 6:24is not magic. It's just memory. Being
  140. 6:27able to look left and see what price has
  141. 6:30done and looking into the memory of the
  142. 6:33price, you will be able to see and react
  143. 6:36to how price reacts at these levels.
  144. 6:39Master this and your trades won't feel
  145. 6:42random anymore. I hope this video helped
  146. 6:44you guys out and if you have questions
