What is Resistance?
A price level where a rising market finds selling pressure and struggles to break above.
In-Depth Explanation
Resistance represents a "ceiling" on the chart where sellers have historically outweighed buyers. If price breaks above resistance, it often becomes a new support level.
Practical Example
"The FTSE 100 has struggled to break above 8,000 multiple times, making it a major psychological resistance level."
