I guess you must add more information about how to identify support and resistance levels with the help of different technical analysis. I am seeing one sub title "How to use them to predict the price?" but it is not about technical analysis but it is all about basics of how to use support and Resistance for trading. Anything in-depth will be more helpful for newbie traders.


I think newbie traders should also visit the youtube videos links which he has given at the end. It is difficult to understand technical analysis theoretically.
I appreciate the effort from the OP to explain this concept of support and resistance but i prefer to learn it through videos also to make the concepts more clear.

I feel like the support and resistance level trading is actually good but it is not that popular in the crypto world for some reason. You check the trading and see where the support levels are and you see where the resistance levels are, you buy 1 dollar above the support level and hope that it doesn't break down (wait a bit before you buy to make sure) and you sell 1 dollar below resistance level and hope it doesn't break up (wait for this too) and you can trade in that spread, it is actually a profitable thing that you could make money from but it is not quick, it takes days sometimes even 10 days before you can buy or sell and that is why people dislike it, people like to either trade within the same day or two, or just invest for the long term, 10-15 days is not really something that gets attention.

Thanks for the OCO part, which is the best and useful stop-loss method in Binance, you explained it really simple and easy to understand.

And also additional,  in Psychological support and resistance, it is really right, and also there are some cases that the support and resistance may not be perfect, that's why some people always left their order hanging or their profit order not hit because they are almost perfect on the perspective of the trader, that's why sometimes I adjust my orders if I am using supports and resistance.

Do you think which is more useful and more accurate? For example Im a tradee who are depend on a weekly or monthly basis for checking charts? I like to know which one is perfectly suit me. Im only using MA, other terms needed some prettt hard studying.


Both Indicators, support & resistance are common tools in every trader's toolbox. The only way to know which tools fit into your trading system/plan is to actually use them and know which one suits you as there's no sure-fire tool that works every single time. Apart from MA, You should try out other indicators like RSI, Bollinger bands, MACD etc only then you'll know what tools to use and when. You'll only be limiting yourself if you chose to use only moving averages.


@OP I found your thread informative. Support and resistance levels are good tools that gets the job done. I found the section about using OCO orders useful for placing 2-way orders at both support and resistance levels  via setting limit and stop-limit prices.

I'm not also an expert in trading but I usually check on the chart weekly and compared it in the last week and in the last month to see some changes on the market. But somehow, I'm not fully relying in charts as prices move differently because of its volatility.

Both support and resistance level is in big consideration in trading and this could help us to farther know of any possible scenario to come but we can't expect fully on this because we already know why.

Im looking forward to these topics. Im still at average knowlesge regarding indicators. Do you think which is more useful and more accurate? For example Im a tradee who are depend on a weekly or monthly basis for checking charts? I like to know which one is perfectly suit me. Im only using MA, other terms needed some prettt hard studying.

Looking for gigs
It's a pretty good basic general information for beginners and newbies to know about the support and resistance level. In my opinion though, the support and resistance level have different TAs from various analysts around the corner. They have their own techniques and the way they read the charts.

What am I saying is that even support and resistance levels are hard to predict nowadays. There are times that when some analysts are declaring that support or resistance level, it broke through their expectations. But anyways, this is well-appreciated for the beginner or newbie level.

Nice OP, I'd find it helpful for everyone and understanding how TA can be created but above all, this can still be speculation since we can't sure what will happen next and that part we can't sure also if our TA will be accurate and the trend will follow. It's all just a market projection and we can't sure anything about in regards to price.

It is clear to understand also that what it happens today will somewhat not possibly to happen in the next days, not even in the next year. Maybe I've found guilty of not trusting TA but somehow I appreciated how people generate such thing.

Beginners might get confused about your title with ”Bitcoin” Support and Resistance for dummies. They might think that it is only for Bitcoin, but it's mostly true for stocks and currencies as well.
Yeah, this could puzzle for the newbie, in fact, I was then thinking how this becomes for dummies.

I like how you structured your guide here, and it seems that you have put in quite a lot of work with that. If you are going to be a trader, you should know this kind of stuff and understand the mechanics behind the indicators and how it is being calculated and plot into the graph.

Maybe you could check out different algorithmic strategies that could be utilized by a bot.

I understand it is all about for dummies still if you provide more information about how to identify and how to make use of support/resistance levels to make profits then that will be making your contribution more valuable and complete one IMO.
But I do see it is useful even for experienced traders as support and resistance levels are everything in market we need to deal with. I mean if you are able to spot support and resistance levels accurately then you can enter and exit profitably and you can exit at technically stronger stoploss on unexpected market movement as well. So, identifying support and resistance levels involves "everything" of trading.

I am familiar with pivot point analysis and Fibonacci retrenchments to identify support and resistance levels and interestingly bitcoin market is always obeying these levels to make a reversal. Anyways, good work OP!

Introduction

Support and resistance are fundamental concepts related to technical analysis, whether gold, silver, or even cryptocurrencies.

Being well aware of these concepts will bring you wealth, especially in a highly volatile market such as cryptocurrency markets, as it is one of the basic principles for everyone who wants to learn to trade.

Above all, applying one of these concepts will not only make you accurate in predicting, but rather you will need to study a lot of charts. Understanding support and resistance will help you to understand more.


What are Bitcoin support and resistance levels?

Think about it, as if there are limits or areas that the price cannot exceed in the normal situation, and if it exceeds, it means that a big change will happen to the price. It is almost as close to a level as you can’t afford in the normal situation.
In the case of support, the price finds "floor", while in the case of resistance it finds "ceiling."


So, in a simple concept, look for support and resistance points, and when the price exceeds it, this means that a big change will take place, but real cases are usually inaccurate or simple by this principle, because the markets are not governed by strict mathematical rules of 1 + 1 = 2.

Therefore, the most accurate concept is to think of it as a price range (zone) and not as fixed prices.

Talking is easy. Why not move on to some practical charts?

Notice that the price has continuously entered that area, but the price has not been able to descend below it and thus the price has bounced in the other direction.
The same can be repeated for resistance levels.


How to use them to predict the price?

Many analysts use these levels to predict the paths of the market and because these levels are psychological and determined by market interactions in the past, they are ideal regions for large traders (or whales) to enter or exit, which means more liquidity flows to these areas.

the risk levels are higher and hence the profit is greater, it is an ideal opportunity for those who want to achieve a quick profit because when the price reaches those positions either it bounces back up or down.

If you are afraid of losing, you can place a stop loss order (OCO order.) If the area is breached, a buy or sell option is executed, thus traders can reduce their losses and exit with a small loss.



OCO order with support and resistance levels


It is one of the options that enable you to execute a pair of orders to buy or sell at the same time. to activate the option on Binance, click on "Stop-limit order" to open a dropdown menu and select "OCO."

A practical example Let's say you just bought 2 LTC at 0.004 BTC because you think that the price is close to a support level and is supposed to rise. The problem is that you are afraid that the price will bounce and lose a lot of money.

In this case, you can use the OCO feature to place a profit order at 0.005 0 BTC along with a stop limit order at 0.0039 BTC

After that you search for the required support or resistance area and change the settings as shown in the picture.



What is support-resistance flip?


This pattern occurs when a resistance or support area is broken so that when the resistance area is broken and retested, it may turn to a support level later, and vice versa.
In this type, the retest zone is ideal for anyone who wants to make a profit.



Strength of a support or resistance area

The strength of the support or resistance area represents the number of times the retest of that point is made so that the higher the price and the retest of the support area, the more likely it will be broken and thus expect a price drop that is likely.

The higher the price price and retest the resistance area, the more likely it will be broken and thus an expected price increase is likely.



Psychological support and resistance

It is not related to any technical analysis, but a physical explanation, which is that the human mind tries to understand things in an aggregate form so that it is easier to assimilate the information. Suppose, for example, that people love numbers like 10 15 20 25 instead of 12 17 21 28, so rounding up these numbers will give you a higher marketing opportunity.

The same applies to digital currencies, many prefer buying and selling at prices such as 9200 and 10700 and others instead of 9340 or 10670 and so on.
