Support: A price level where buying interest has repeatedly appeared, slowing or reversing a decline. Traders watch for holds at support or breaks below it.
Resistance: A price level where selling pressure has repeatedly capped rallies. A clean break above resistance is often read as bullish; rejections can signal exhaustion.
Neckline: In head-and-shoulders or double-top/bottom setups, the line connecting the lows (or highs) between the pattern’s main swings. A break through the neckline is a common confirmation signal.
Breakout: When price closes beyond a defined boundary — support, resistance, trendline, or pattern edge — often with increased volume. False breakouts (quick reversals back inside) are common.
Consolidation: A period of sideways or range-bound price action after a move. Flags, triangles, and rectangles are consolidation patterns that may resolve with continuation or reversal.
Reversal pattern: A shape that often appears after an extended trend and may signal a change in direction — e.g. head & shoulders after a rally, or inverse H&S after a decline.
