Technical analysts use support and resistance levels to find price points in the stock price action that tend to act as glass ceiling, containing the price of an asset to move up or down.

However, if the price breaks down this level, it will probably continue descending until approaching another support level. In contrast, resistance levels are where the price tends to find opposition as it rises.
