How to find real support and resistance

Dec 06, 2025 1:40 pm

Dear ,


Today is Day 7, and we’re going back to something fundamental.

but very misunderstood:


Support and Resistance.

Most traders draw 10–12 lines on their chart,

get confused,

and then blame the market.


But the truth is,

you only need 2 zones most of the time.

Not lines.

Not levels.

Zones.


Let me explain this


The problem most traders have:

They draw support/resistance like this:

  • a straight horizontal line
  • anywhere it “looks correct”
  • based on guesses
  • based on one candle

This doesn’t work.

Markets don’t respect lines.

They respect areas.


So here is the simple rule:

“Mark zones, not lines.”


A zone is basically:

The area where buyers or sellers stepped in strongly.

Not one point.

Not one price.

But a small region.

How to find REAL support zones

Look for an area where:

  • Price fell
  • Price suddenly stopped
  • Then price bounced strongly

This “bounce area” is your real support zone.


Mark it as a box,

from the wick to the body.

That’s it.


How to find REAL resistance zones

Look for an area where:

  • Price went up
  • Price stalled
  • Then reversed strongly

This “stall + drop” area is your resistance zone.

Again, mark it as a small box.


Why does this work better than lines

Because buyers and sellers don’t place orders at one exact price.

They place them in a range.


That’s why price:

  • wicks inside the zone
  • hunts liquidity inside the zone
  • and then moves away

Lines get broken easily.

Zones hold well.


How to use these zones for entries


For buys:

Wait for the price to come into your support zone.

look for rejection,

Enter in the confirmation candle.


For sells:

Wait for the price to revisit the resistance zone.

Look for rejection,

Enter on confirmation.


Simple and clean trading.


Mistakes to avoid

  • Drawing too many zones
  • Marking zones in the middle of nowhere
  • Entering without confirmation
  • Expecting zones to work 100% of the time

A good zone simply gives you a better probability.

That’s all trading is — Probability + Discipline.


Practice Time

Open your chart.

Mark only:

  • 1 support zone
  • 1 resistance zone

Just two.


And see how the price reacts around them.

You’ll instantly feel how clean your chart becomes.


Tomorrow (Day 8),

We’ll talk about something extremely useful:

How to avoid choppy markets and sideways traps.

This will save you from unnecessary trades.


With Love & Respect,

Samir
