Support and Resistance Still Work
The video claims that support and resistance levels remain valid in 2026, but the typical explanation is flawed. The real reason for price reactions is not simply a floor becoming a ceiling.

Order Block Definition
An order block is the last opposing candlestick before a strong move. In the example, the first touch of this level caused a positive reaction, surpassing the previous high, confirming it as a valid order block.

Broken Order Block Becomes Resistance
When the order block was broken, a subsequent retest caused a downward reaction, surpassing the previous low. This confirms it as a classic broken order block, which acts as a contrarian level.

Simplified Summary
In simple terms, a broken order block is essentially a support level that becomes resistance, but the underlying mechanism is more nuanced than the common explanation.
Traders should look for order blocks—the last opposing candle before a strong move—and treat broken order blocks as dynamic support/resistance levels. This approach provides a more accurate framework than the simplistic 'support becomes resistance' idea.

[00:00] Operar soportes y resistencias en el 2026 puede ser rentable, pero te lo han explicado mal. La verdad es que cuando nosotros encontramos una zona que parece ser soporte y que luego al romperse pasa a ser una resistencia,
[00:12] nosotros no debemos simplemente operar un piso que pasa a ser un techo o un soporte que pasa a ser resistencia. En realidad, el mercado se mueve hacia la baja por otros motivos. Por ejemplo, en este caso que tenemos por acá, nosotros tenemos una última vela contraria antes de este movimiento fuerte,
[00:28] el cual es conocido como un order block. E incluso la primera vez que el precio lo ha tocado, el mercado reaccionó en alza superando el máximo anterior. Esto quiere decir que es claramente un order block.
[00:40] Luego en el futuro fue atravesado y al volver a tocarse, el precio volvió a responder hacia la baja reaccionando y superando al mínimo anterior. Esto quiere decir que en realidad es un order block en quiebre, ya que un order block en quiebre es un order block clásico,
[00:55] que sería una vela contraria antes de un movimiento fuerte, que luego es superada y retesteado en su lado opuesto, como en este caso. Obviamente que si esto lo resumimos muchísimo, es básicamente un soporte que pasa a ser resistencia.
