Supports are levels where the price tends to stop as it falls. Price is more likely to "rebound" this level rather than break through it. Nevertheless, if the price breaks down this level, it is likely to continue declining until meeting another support level. On the other side, resistance levels are where the price may find resistance as it rises. In the same manner, the price is more liable to "rebound" at this level, and if it finally ruptures this level, the price will rise more easily until it meets the next resistance
