Support & Resistance Explained With a Roof Analogy
60sThis simple physical analogy instantly makes a confusing trading concept memorable and easy to share.
▶ Play Clip"Genuine tutorial that teaches support and resistance clearly with practical examples, though the beginner-to-pro claim is slightly overstretched."
This episode of the trading series teaches beginners how to correctly identify and draw support and resistance zones. Arjun Kela explains the concepts using simple analogies, demonstrates role reversal and volume confirmation with a live trade, and shares practical rules to avoid common mistakes.
This episode continues the trading series by teaching how to correctly identify support and resistance, which was a point of confusion for the host's brother.
Support is like the floor (holds you up) and resistance is like the roof (stops you from going higher); if you jump, the roof resistance makes you fall back down.
Resistance is an area where the price repeatedly goes up but gets rejected, because sellers step in and prevent it from breaking higher.
Support is an area where price repeatedly falls but cannot go lower because buyers step in and push it back up.
Support and resistance are zones where big players (institutional traders) create positions with large orders, making these levels meaningful for small traders too.
If price keeps moving between ₹50 and ₹100, buying at 50 and selling at 100 indicates a support zone at 50 and a resistance zone at 100.
The real game happens when price breaks out of a range; after a breakout, the broken resistance should turn into support and vice versa.
A trend is not real until role reversal occurs. Without it, the breakout could be fake, so wait for support to become resistance (or resistance to become support) before trusting the move.
The host shows a real trade where a support break, role reversal, and short entry produced a $3,000 profit.
Never draw support/resistance as single lines. Big players enter through large order ranges, so you should mark zones (e.g., ₹100–₹95) to avoid gaps and false signals.
If price repeatedly comes to an area and falls, it becomes a strong resistance; if it repeatedly bounces, it becomes strong support. More touches = stronger level.
Check volume on breakouts/breakdowns. Increasing volume confirms the move and reduces trap risk; low volume means higher chance of a false breakout.
Support and resistance are not lines but zones driven by big players' orders. Successful trading depends on waiting for role reversal after breakouts and using volume as a confirmation filter.
What is the simple analogy for support and resistance used in the video?
Support is the floor, resistance is the roof.
02:18
Define resistance in trading.
An area where price repeatedly gets rejected and cannot break above, due to selling pressure.
03:04
Define support in trading.
An area where price repeatedly bounces up and cannot break below, due to buying pressure.
03:19
Why should support/resistance be marked as zones rather than lines?
Big players place large orders across an area, and single lines cause gaps and confusion; zones are more accurate.
13:46
How many touches confirm a support or resistance zone?
Two or more times.
15:21
What is role reversal?
After a breakout/breakdown, the broken level flips its role – resistance becomes support or support becomes resistance – confirming the new trend.
07:18
What does volume tell us on a breakout?
Increasing volume confirms the breakout, while low volume indicates a possible trap.
18:09
What is the first rule for strong support/resistance?
The more times price is rejected from an area, the stronger the level.
16:21
Zones represent order flow
Shows that support/resistance aren't arbitrary lines but reflect real buying/selling pressure from large players.
03:48Role reversal validates trend
The key principle that a breakout is only real once the level flips, preventing fake-out trades.
07:46Zones over lines
A concrete rule that fixes the classic beginner mistake of drawing thin horizontal lines.
13:46Volume as confirmation filter
Adds a practical filter to avoid false breakouts by checking volume.
17:56[00:06] we learned in the last episode how to use the time frames and how to analyze the time frames [music] to take the right trade in the right direction. But along with direction, we have to
[00:20] question to my brother. Come on brother, mark the support and resistance here and show me This is support. Yes. Yes. And this is support.
[00:33] Where is the resistance? Resistance area. Yes. And this brother is Sara only. All this is just support and resistance. Hey guys, please comment and tell me brother, what type of
[00:45] support resistance is this? I myself got confused. And if you guys are also confused in finding out and marking support and resistance correctly then this video is for you, this episode is going to be very important for you
[00:58] because in this we are going to cover up And for those who do Karola and you know I am a stock burner and this is my younger brother my name is Arjun Kela
[01:13] So as he said, he is learning trading and I am teaching him trading and he has a dream card that he wants to buy PSA 911 and I am sure he will buy it but when will he be able to buy it, that is possible only when he learns this trading in the right way. So
[01:27] through which I am teaching trading to you guys because I was teaching it to my brother. directly to you. That's why we have started a very amazing series. then make sure to like this video , subscribe to the channel and
[01:40] press the bell notification button so that you do not miss out on any upcoming video. Because if you want to learn trading from zero and learn it for free, then there cannot be a better series than this for you people because at the level at which I am going to teach my younger brother,
[01:52] perhaps I will be able to teach trading to someone at that level. So take advantage of it. Now let's talk about the topic. Brother, what is our topic today? resistance. Till now brother has created resistance by doing some such things like this, such things like this,
[02:04] But this is a big confusion. There will be no such trading inside it. To we first have to learn support and resistance properly. So our topic is going to be support and
[02:18] resistance. I will tell you in a simple and easy way. For example, I am standing here and what is supporting me right now? The floor is its support. But if I jump from here, what resistance will I face? Roof Roof
[02:33] I will get resistance from the roof. The simple thing is resistance, which means I am standing here and I am jumping. I will get resistance. If it hits my head, I will fall down. If it hits me, I will fall down. But I am standing on the floor below.
[02:49] So I am getting support here. resistance. An area where the price repeatedly goes but gets rejected from there. Someone comes from there and sells it. Doesn't let me go up.
[03:04] The price cannot be reached. But when the price comes down from there, there is an area from where the price cannot go down much further. Buying comes from there. This is where the selling comes from. This is where buying comes from. So, such an area from where the price repeatedly
[03:19] rejects, falls, is unable to break that level, is unable to go above it. That area is called unable to go above it. That area is called resistance. An area from where the price repeatedly goes up and comes back up. He comes and goes up. He comes and
[03:32] goes up. The price is unable to break that area and go below it. And from there, buying comes right away. The price goes up. The go below it. So, that area is our support. Right? That is,
[03:48] if I say in trading language, this is a zone where there is an area where everyone wants to do what? Want to buy bye. This is an area ? Want to sell a sale. Now when
[04:04] maximum people want to sell here, the price will not be able to go above that because as many times as it goes, people will sell it. People will sell it every time it goes. People will sell it every time it goes. People will sell it every time it goes. Support and resistance is an area
[04:18] where big players majorly create their positions or they buy or they sell. Right? Now if a small player makes a position here, will it make But will it make a difference if a big player buys here? Yes. It will make a
[04:31] difference. So that is why there is such an area , such a zone, such a point from where big players make purchases again and again. From where big players repeatedly sell out. So this is the zone from where buying is coming again and again, it
[04:44] comes once, it comes twice, the price comes to one area once, one, two or more times. If price comes to one area once, one, two or more times. If moves up, then that is called our support. Stopped and went upstairs. At a
[04:57] called our support. Stopped and went upstairs. At a specific point, the price specific point, the price stops one, two or more times from the area, the down from there, what does that become for us, resistance, that
[05:12] for example, this is our price of ₹100, this is our price of ₹50, the price is going from 50 to 100 again and again, again 50 is coming, 100 is going, 50 is coming, 100 is going, 50 is coming, that means people like to buy right at 50. As soon as it
[05:28] comes around 50, buying starts. People love to sell at 100. , the capital is doubling, they are selling it. So, this became a resistance for us. This became a support zone for us. A point where the
[05:41] price stops, if the price stops at one point two or more times, will price is getting rejected at a particular point two or more times , facing resistance, acting as resistance for us. Ok? Understand support and resistance? Yes.
[05:55] Now let's talk about the next point. Where does the real game change happen? The real game is on row reversal. Ok? Now that you've seen support resistance, support resistance, support resistance, support resistance. If I do it like this
[06:09] and I write support for it. I will write this as resistance. What is the condition of the market right now? Is in a zone. It's in the zone, it's sideways. Support resistance is trapped within support resistance. Now understand it simply. Now the price has to
[06:22] provide momentum from here. We have to make money. We are waiting for the price to come out. But how will the price be determined? The price will be determined in two ways. Either this attempted once or twice. We got resistance for the third time. Attempted for the fourth time.
[06:34] Then he came again, stopped here and then left. Or break it. Right? So I took a break and now I am out of this. Now our uptrend is on. Or they came down from here. Break the support. So what happens to us from here? Down trend continues. Now when
[06:50] it breaks or it takes out the top then exactly now the market will move. The entire market is built in it. How is it made? Role reversal happens here. [Music] Now, is the market actually moving through the resistance? It will then be
[07:04] known what resistance still existed. What will he become now? Support. That is, if the market actually wants to go up. Actually a good trend is coming from here. Actually there is a breakout. This resistance will require a row reversal.
[07:18] Now it is the job of the resistance to act as support. Now its job is that from where people were selling, selling, selling, selling, selling, if this actual buying is coming then the price should come down here and
[07:31] go up from here. Ok? So, we will assume that now the buying has come and now our market has become bullish. Was in the range, came out of the range which we had resistance. He broke the resistance and came up. Now, until the resistance becomes support,
[07:46] our momentum is not actual momentum. There is no actual buying. It may be fake. Anything can be a trend. But as soon as the role reversal happened. Now this resistance becomes support and now we can see from here that this trend is up. Again
[08:01] what was there? Prices came down from here a little earlier. What came out? Resistance. Now if you want to go into the actual trend, it will break it. Will go up. Is this real or not? There will be a role reversal here. This way. Now if this low reversal happens, the resistance has now
[08:14] become support here. This means that this market has now entered an uptrend. Same vice versa happens in down trend. How about in a downtrend? If the breakdown occurs, well, the price has moved down after breaking the support, but is it
[08:27] actually a fall? What do we have to see to understand this ? Role reversal that we As long as the prices were being held back, buying was coming, buying was coming, buying was coming, buying was coming. Now it is important to have sales here. Now the sellers should sit here.
[08:41] Those who were selling from here till now should come here. Only then will it actually go down. This would mean role reversal here. Only then will we consider it a down trend. Now if we consider this a down trend, then the price will break the support which was there for us till now and will
[08:53] consider this a down trend, then the price will break the support which was there for us till now and will Resistance. This means it has gone into a downtrend. It has now gone into an uptrend. It is a simple market. Gets stuck in a range. Then a resistance level break occurs. There is a
[09:05] reversal every day. Resistance becomes support. Then again it goes up. role reversal. That means resistance becomes support. Up trend continues. It is a very easy market. Now let me show you an example of this.
[09:17] How to trade in it? Here is an example of a trade I am actually running live. I am actually running live. If you look at it, maybe you will understand. Now let me show you an example of role reversal. How does role
[09:29] reversal happen brother? Now tell me what was there here? Now look at this area as I explained what was to be built here? Support had to become support. Ok? And what was to be built in this area? Resistance. Resistance had to be created. We
[09:42] saw the actual practical example that the resistance came down. I came here. The resistance came down and a break was formed here. What you read happened, right? Yes. That's what happened. Now what? Now what we said is that brother, if the market has to go down, if there is a
[09:56] breakdown, a fall, if the support is broken , then there should be a row reversal here. So what was this that came here? Now which area was this till now? from here? Resistance.
[10:08] Resistance means the market came down. So understanding this rule reversal, there is support here. Now there should be resistance here. Because if the market has to go down then resistance will be created here because it is very strong till now. So I said that if it
[10:22] goes two or more times then it is a very strong support. There is a break test, there is role reversal, it identified that yes, I have acting as resistance. I have made a short entry there and how many are being
[10:35] we making here? $3000 $3000 Simple someone put some math into it. No calculations, no strategies much. If I remove all the strategy everything. I should take If I remove all the strategy everything. I should take
[10:48] Reversal I went short here because the price went down and it gave validation that the price is coming down. What is here right now? Support is support. What is here right now? Support is support. How can it go any lower now? This came, tested it, it went
[11:03] down, right? And if it breaks. This happens after breaking. We still have support. Now if we have to sit in this direction, if it has to go further down , it will have to do this. That means this area will have to undergo role reversal. The
[11:17] support that is there till now will become resistance. Right? Did you understand? What an easy market it is. Right? So this is the power of role reversal. If you understand role reversal then you will understand the complete concept of support resistance here. Ok? So
[11:32] single trade. Those who want to start trading because I So those who want to start can start with Delta in the description box. There is a FIO platform. So all the beginners who

[12:38] share the trades I have made. how trades are executed and how trades are planned so that you can learn to trade in the right way. Right? So this was about support and
[12:52] resistance. Right? Now I will talk about some rules. What rules are to be followed here? But before that I want to tell you that brother, when I was plotting the support and resistance here. So what did the brother do? Such lines, such
[13:05] So what did the brother do? Such lines, such lines, such lines, such lines, but let me tell you one any big player has to enter the market. For example, around this area For example, around this area this is the price of ₹100 and this is the price of ₹200. If
[13:20] any big player wants to enter this area, he has to place a lot of orders. You might be depositing Rs 1 lakh, 2 lakh, 5 lakh, 10 lakh, 20 lakh. They invest in crores. His orders are worth crores. So
[13:33] if they want to buy from here then they will never place an order. Do you understand? Not an order. He said that I want it for ₹100 and I have an order of 1 lakh. So do you think there will be 1 lakh orders at the same time at a price of ₹100 ? No. Will
[13:46] not happen. So what do they do? Whenever you do this, many beginners make the mistake of As brother was saying, never mark support and resistance in one line. You always have to create a zone. Such a zone has to be created. This
[14:01] Such a zone has to be created. This is the zone. What kind of zone? From ₹100 to ₹95, it became a five-point zone. This became a five-point zone from ₹200, meaning from ₹195 to ₹200. What kind of zone? Let's come here. If
[14:16] you look at the chart here, you will see zones formed here. How are my support and resistance lines placed? In the zone. What is this? Zone. The zone is engaged. Ok? What is installed here? Zone. The zone is engaged. Now if you look here, by any chance, I'll
[14:29] open the Bitcoin chart instead of this Ethereum chart so you can see it more clearly. So if you see here, if you have to mark a line, then you may not be able to mark the line properly. Let me mark a line here and show you. This is the line. This was a support.
[14:41] here there is a gap. Yes. took support but this gap came up. Right? So we did not understand. There will be confusion. But leaving this aside, instead of a line, I'll mark a zone here.
[14:54] Because as I told you, the market runs in zones. So there was one support from here and the second time because I have to wait twice and I marked this second time from where I took the support. Do you understand now? Yes. Now I don't
[15:08] see any gap here, right? Why? Because a zone has already come here. Buying came from here. Buying came from here for the first time and then for the second time. But he became the zone. And when do we consider support? When the price touches an area twice.
[15:21] He had a breakdown the third time. Right? But if you just put a single line till now, then you might not see this support. So this confusion occurs. That's why whenever you are trading, you should not plot lines. You plot the zone so that you can accurately
[15:36] find the right spot, the right point. Here also you will see that there is a zone around this area. even match. Look, I took support from here also. Came here also. Took support from here also. But when I created the zone I understood that there is a support zone. There
[15:52] is no support line. So this is the difference. The line is connected pin point to pin point which mostly does not work. It fails many times. But always use zone support so that you understand that there is a buying zone. This is the selling zone. That
[16:06] means there is a support zone and this is a resistance zone. Ok? Is the zone cleared ? Yes. Now let's talk next. We talked here about the role reversal zone and what a zone is. Now let us talk about the rules. These are the rules. The
[16:21] first rule is that the price is coming around any area. It is coming. It is coming. It is coming. If the price is repeatedly coming up and falling around any area.
[16:33] Is this a strong resistance or is this a strong support? If the price repeatedly comes up around any area, it falls down. So what area is that? It is strong. That means he came there once and fell down. The second time he came, he fell down immediately. If it
[16:47] comes for the third time, I would also like to sell it here. Why? Because I see that this is a very strong zone. The price did not stop here. Fell as soon as he came. The same thing came here, came here, came here. Ok? This was our
[17:00] [sound of clearing throat] first rule. Now let's talk about the second rule. Whatever we have resistance, there is support, there is resistance. The second rule is that support and resistance never occur in a line but in a zone. So whenever you mark support and
[17:14] resistance, you should not mark lines. You mark the zone. Ok? The third rule is that if the market has to move, if the market has to break out of the support and resistance and
[17:26] follow the same direction, then the market will have to do role reversal. Price will have to do a role reversal. Only then will we go in that direction. In any zone, support zone, it gets a breakout or a breakdown. But we have to
[17:40] we were going down. They are going to go up. But we will take the trade only when we see role reversal in the market. Ok? After this, whenever the market gives a breakout or breakdown, it is a simple matter. You have to look at the volume.
[17:56] What is volume? If you want to know then keep watching this series carefully till the end. tell you about volume because if you understand the game of volume then you will crack more than half the market. So here we will learn about pay volume. Whenever
[18:09] you see a breakout or breakdown, make sure you also look at the volume coming from below in these breakouts or breakdowns. If this breakout is coming, the volume is also increasing from the bottom, then this breakout is valid. There
[18:23] are more chances of it working. A breakdown is coming, there is good volume from the bottom, so the chances of it moving are high. But the breakout breakdown is coming. The price is moving up and down after breaking the support resistance. The volume is not from the bottom. Never
[18:35] go into trades. Your chances of getting trapped may be higher. There may not be role reversal there. Ok? So these were some of its key points which are very important for you to understand by marking the support and resistance and make sure that whenever you are trading, there are
[18:47] some invisible lines in the chart which we call support and resistance. You should learn to see them because a professional trader always looks at the invisible lines inside the chart which we call support and resistance. If you
[18:59] mark support and resistance, you will learn to plan good trades in the right direction. Ok? Now I have a simple question for you. This is a chart of Bitcoin. Now here you mark and show me where the exact support resistance is to be formed.
[19:14] Let me make this a little smaller chart. I shifted it to one hour. Now tell me which is the support zone? Which is the resistance zone? Yellow. So what is this mark already? Support now.
[19:28] Right? Now when we marked this zone here, we understood that it is a support zone because buying had come from here also first and then it came down. Buying came from here also. Buying has just come down from here and is now stalled here as well. Ok? So now
[19:44] marking the resistance zone somewhere here, where our resistance zone is being formed. resistance zone because here the price came down, fell here, came down,
[19:58] broke out or what did not happen here, now see, it is a very easy simple concept, I see, it is a very easy simple concept, I just taught you that resistance came down, gave breakout, if it had to go, there should have been a role reversal, role reversal did
[20:10] not happen, got trapped, price came down again, breakout, then again going here it should have had a role reversal to go up but it did not happen, price came down, came down, took resistance, came down, took support, resistance resistance resistance below.
[20:23] Ok? Is it clear? Support and resistance. In a simple way, it also became clear role reversal will have to be done by breaking the resistance. Then he will go upstairs. If the support has to be broken, then role reversal will have to be done by breaking the support. Then it will go down.
[20:38] made the trade. Ok? So brother clearly understood support and resistance. I understood the points that were told. I explained these things. So if you have also I am sure that after this you will not need to watch any other video for support and resistance.
[20:53] you will not need to watch any other video for support and resistance. in the upcoming videos. So make sure you subscribe to this channel. Press the bell notification button and if you are a beginner then what do you want to comment? Beginner Beginner
