The Hidden "Resistance to Support" Secret
take advantage of it to increase your returns
You know that moment when you're staring at a chart, and everything inside you is screaming…
"this is the top!"
I had that exact feeling recently while watching Meta's price action.
The stock tested a critical resistance level, and my instincts were firing on all cylinders.
But here's what separates consistently profitable traders from the rest...
They understand a crucial principle that most traders overlook:
Previous resistance can become future support.
It's like the market's version of a psychological flip-flop.
Back when I began…
There were periods where I'd short every resistance level I saw.
And let me tell you, my account paid the price for that oversimplified thinking.
The key is to wait for confirmation. Don't just blindly short resistance - watch how price reacts when it gets there.
Is it showing weakness?
Are there signs of institutional selling (like heavy put buying)?
This is exactly why technical analysis isn't just about drawing lines on a chart.
It's about understanding the psychology behind price movement.
Think about it - every resistance level is really just a price where sellers previously overwhelmed buyers.
But what happens when those sellers are exhausted?
That's when resistance can flip to support, leading to powerful breakouts that catch bearish traders off guard.
I see this trap catch traders again and again.
They get so convinced by their technical analysis that they forget markets are dynamic, always evolving, always ready to humble those who think they've got it all figured out.
The real edge comes from being patient enough to wait for confirmation.
To let the market show its hand before committing to a position.
Remember - it's not about being right. It's about being profitable.
And sometimes, that means watching your "perfect setup" turn into the exact opposite of what you expected.
Stay humble.
Stay patient.
And always let the market confirm your thesis before pulling the trigger.
