Simple rules to understand Supports and Resistances behaviour

Education
FX:USDSEK   U.S. Dollar / Swedish Krona
The idea of this post is to use this current scenario to provide an idea of how to work with clear Support and Resistances zones.

a) LOOK AT THE PAST: What we mean by this is to look for zones that you can define as reversal areas (support/resistance), this must be Evident if it is not then you should not be paying attention to that chart

b) Once you have found a situation in the past that is clear enough, you can think that similarities may happen to the current scenario, For example, we would say something like: The price will reverse towards a similar level as it happened on the past

c) Be ready to be wrong: We don't know what the price is going to do precisely, BUT we can assume two situations, either will break a level, or it will reverse on a level. Let's take the previous support zone as an example. We had an evident support zone, and the price dint reversed there, BUT the price stop for a while. so we can make a rule like this:

-IF the price breaks a clear support/resistance zone; first, it will tend to stop there and make a sideways movement for a while before continuing

-IF the price reversed on a level, I should see similarities to previous situations, and I can use it as models to follow and wait for triggers or signals that I saw worked before

d)LAST RULE: The price moves between specific Support and Resistance zones following the previous 2 ideas about breaking a level or reversing on a level / Take a look how the price broke the last zone support, making a sideways movement first. After that, the bearish movement continued and now has reached the next support zone, there we should think again that both scenarios can happen, and just react to the more evident one.
