Horizontal support and resistance levels play a crucial role in technical analysis. Here’s what you need to know:

1. Definition:

   • These levels represent key areas on a price chart where price has previously bounced off or stalled.

   • They serve as critical reference points for traders.

2. Identification:

   • Analyze historical price charts to locate areas where price has reacted.

   • These levels appear as horizontal lines on the chart.

3. Drawing Horizontal Levels:

   • Look for areas where price has bounced off multiple times, forming a clear horizontal line.

   • These levels help anticipate potential future price movements.

4. Refining Analysis:

   • Use additional tools like trendlines, moving averages, and technical indicators to validate support and resistance levels.

   • Be aware that these levels can be broken or breached, leading to trend reversals.

5. EUR/USD Example:
