Support
A price area where declines previously slowed or reversed.
What to notice
Look for several reactions in a zone, not a magic exact number. Old lows, prior consolidation and retests can all help describe a zone.
The context that matters
A support test is stronger as an observation when price responds there and a closed candle confirms the response. Support can fail.
Common mistake
Moving a support line after every new low so that it can never be wrong.
Try it on a chart
Draw a narrow zone around a past reaction, then note whether the next test holds, breaks or briefly pierces it.
