Support and Resistance Zones using RSI Indicator

Support and resistance lines often show clearer on RSI than on price charts.

In an uptrend, support levels hold firm. A break means prices fall through, and the uptrend ends.

In a falling trend, resistance levels hold strong. If price breaks them, the stock surges past, and the downtrend turns around.
