What is Resistance Level?

A price where a stock tends to stop rising

Full Explanation

Resistance is a price level where sellers historically push the stock back down. Like a ceiling.

Real-World Example

If TSLA keeps failing to break $300, that's resistance.

Pro Tip

If a stock breaks above resistance, it often shoots up fast.
