$CLANKER falls below the 17 level.
Let’s use this number to unpack the idea of round-number levels.
The more often a price level is tested, the more significant it tends to become in people’s eyes. But some argue that repeated tests can also deplete the orders resting there.
A level itself doesn’t determine whether prices rise or fall. It’s more like the point where buyers and sellers clash most intensely; ultimately, trading activity will show which way the market goes.
Extreme readings usually signal greater volatility. At times like these, it’s better to reduce your position rather than add to it.
