What is Support Level?

A price where a stock tends to stop falling

Full Explanation

Support is a price level where buyers historically step in and stop the stock from dropping further. Like a floor.

Real-World Example

If AAPL keeps bouncing at $150, that's a support level.

Pro Tip

If a stock breaks below support, it often falls a lot further.
