Master the Art of Support and Resistance Trading in Financial Markets
What is Horizontal Line Trading?
Horizontal line trading is a fundamental technical analysis strategy that focuses on identifying and trading off significant price levels where markets have previously shown strong support or resistance. These levels often act as psychological barriers where price action tends to react consistently.
Key Characteristics:
- Price levels that have historically acted as support or resistance
- Areas where price has reversed multiple times
- Psychological round numbers (like 1.3000 in forex or 100.00 in stocks)
- Previous major highs or lows
