Are you new to the markets? Are there some technical terms that make you feel lost? Let's try to solve that.
What is support level in a trading vehicle?
A designated price point on a chart (any timeframe), below its current price, that limits the decline in the desired issue over a defined period of time. The more times a designated level is revisited, the more validity is attached to it.
How do you use a support level?
Support levels can used in a few different ways. It can be used to enter a long position for a particular issue, assuming the issue will rebound off the designated support level. It can be used to cover a previously initiated short position.
When a support level is breached, it may provide temporary resistance as it finds a new support level and begins to rally.
