Technical analysts use support and resistance levels as a way to spot price points in the stock price action that tend to behave as obstacles, preventing the price of shares 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 "bounce off" this level rather than break through it.
