Technical analysts use support and resistance levels as a way to find price points on a chart that tend to work as glass ceiling, containing the price of an asset to move in certain direction. A support level is a level where the price tends to find support as it falls. This means that the 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 descending until meeting another support level. On the contrary, a resistance level is where the price tends to find a curb as it moves up. In the same way, the price is more likely to "rebound" at this level, and if it finally breaches this level, it will climb easily until it meets the next resistance
