"Amateurs chase price. Professionals wait at the walls."
Welcome back to the War Room.
In Part 1, we learned the language of price (Trends). Now, we map the terrain.
The market does not move randomly. It respects invisible walls built by Whales. These walls are called Support (Demand) and Resistance (Supply).
If you can identify these zones, you stop guessing and start sniping. Let’s draw the lines. 👇
🧱 1. Support (The Floor / Demand Zone)
Think of Support as a concrete floor.
Definition: A price level where the asset has difficulty falling below.Psychology: At this level, Buyers are stronger than Sellers. Whales see the price as "Cheap" and step in to buy.Action: When price hits Support, it tends to BOUNCE.Strategy: Look for Long (Buy) entries here. Never Short into Support.
🚧 2. Resistance (The Ceiling / Supply Zone)
Think of Resistance as a glass ceiling.
Definition: A price level where the asset has difficulty rising above.Psychology: At this level, Sellers are stronger than Buyers. Traders who bought at the bottom are taking profit, and Bears are opening Short positions.Action: When price hits Resistance, it tends to REJECT (Fall).Strategy: Look for Short (Sell) entries here. Never FOMO Buy into Resistance.
🔄 3. The S/R Flip (The Golden Rule)
This is the most powerful concept in Technical Analysis.
"Old Resistance becomes New Support."
The Scenario:The price struggles to break a Resistance level (e.g., $100).Finally, a massive green candle BREAKS through $100.The price goes to $110, then comes back down to test $100.The Magic: The $100 level, which was once a Ceiling (Resistance), now acts as a Floor (Support).Why? Traders who missed the breakout are waiting at $100 to buy. Sellers who got trapped are closing their positions at break-even.Strategy: Don't buy the breakout candle. Buy the Retest.
⚔️ Strategist’s Decree: The safest entry is not the breakout; it is the Retest of the Flip Zone.
🖍️ 4. How to Draw S/R (Zones, Not Lines)
Beginners make a fatal mistake: They draw a single thin line at exactly $50,000.
The Market is not perfect. It is messy.
The Zone Rule: Never draw a line. Draw a Rectangular Box (Zone).Cover the Wicks: A zone should cover the candle bodies and the wicks (shadows) of previous rejections.Touch Points: The more times the price touches a level and rejects, the stronger that level is.2 Touches: Valid.3+ Touches: Strong Fortress.
⚠️ 5. Fake-outs (The Trap)
Whales know you are watching these lines.
Sometimes, price will pierce through a Support level, trigger your Stop-Loss, and then instantly rocket back up.
Defense: Wait for a Candle Close. Do not act while the candle is still moving. A wick below support is a trap; a body close below support is a breakdown.
🏁 Phase 4 (Part 2) Conclusion
You now have the map.
Support is for Buying.Resistance is for Selling/Taking Profit.The Retest is for Entering.Zones are better than Lines.

From Market Structure to Smart Decisions (Daily Timeframe Analysis)
On the daily timeframe, the ASTER/USDT chart shows a market transitioning from a clear downtrend (lower highs, lower lows) into a potential short-term recovery, but the higher-timeframe structure still dominates, reminding us that big picture beats noise; price recently bounced from a strong support zone around $0.63–$0.65, confirmed by long lower candlestick wicks that signal aggressive buyer rejection at lows, while the current price near $0.70 is approaching a minor resistance ceiling around $0.72–$0.75, where sellers previously stepped in ( #SupportResistance ). Volume expanded on the bounce, which adds validity to the move and reduces the chance of a fake-out, yet volume is still not explosive enough to confirm a full trend reversal (#volumeprofile ). The moving averages tell an important story: price is reclaiming short MAs (20/50), suggesting improving momentum, but it remains well below the long MA (200), keeping the macro bias cautious (#MovingAverages ). From a confluence perspective, we have (1) support reaction, (2) improving volume, and (3) momentum shift, but without a confirmed higher high on the daily, this remains a probability play, not certainty, aligning with the 70/30 rule that markets range more than they trend #CONFLUENCE ). Practical verdict: for the short term, a speculative buy is reasonable with targets near $0.75–$0.80 if volume holds and momentum continues; for the long term, this is still a wait or cautious accumulation zone, not an aggressive buy, until ASTER reclaims and holds above the 200 MA with a confirmed higher-high structure—risk management and a clear stop below support are non-negotiable (#RiskManagement ).
