Support & Resistance Zones | Breakouts, Retests & Liquidity

Support and resistance work better as zones rather than exact price levels. In this episode, we explain how to identify support and resistance zones, understand the liquidity around them, and distinguish genuine breakouts from false breakouts.

We look at why price often moves beyond obvious support or resistance before reversing, how clustered orders can create liquidity around key levels, and why a wick through a zone doesn’t necessarily confirm a breakout.

We also look at how to assess candle closes, follow-through and breakout retests, use higher-timeframe context, evaluate repeated tests of a zone, and think about stop-loss placement without simply putting a stop beyond the most obvious high or low.
