Check Volume<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Strong reversals at a zone usually come with above-average volume.<\/p>\n<p>Note that the Nifty index has no traded volume of its own.

The right one depends on whether the market is ranging or trending.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Strategy<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Best Market Condition<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Entry Trigger<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Stop-loss Idea<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Bounce<\/td>\n<td>Range-bound market<\/td>\n<td>Reversal candle (hammer, engulfing) at the zone with volume<\/td>\n<td>Just beyond the zone<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Breakout<\/td>\n<td>Trend after consolidation<\/td>\n<td>Daily close beyond the zone on above-average volume<\/td>\n<td>Back inside the broken zone<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Retest<\/td>\n<td>After a confirmed breakout<\/td>\n<td>Price returns to the broken level and holds<\/td>\n<td>Beyond the retested zone<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h3><strong>Bounce Strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Buy near support and sell near resistance. But do it only after a reversal candle forms at the zone.<\/p>\n<p>Mark a clear support, wait for price to return and then confirm with a bullish candle and volume. Then place the stop below the zone and target the next resistance. The logic reverses for selling at resistance.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Breakout Strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Buy when price closes above a well-tested resistance, or sell when it closes below support. Many traders look for volume of roughly 1.5 to 2 times the recent average. However, this is a rule of thumb and not a fixed law.<\/p>\n<p>False breakouts are common. This is why waiting for a close beyond the level beats reacting to an intraday spike.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Retest Strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>After a breakout, price often returns to the broken level, and old resistance becomes new support. This is called role reversal.\u00a0Entering on the retest instead of the initial spike usually gives a tighter stop and better risk-reward.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"A_Practical_Example_Support_and_Resistance_on_a_Stock\"><\/span><strong>A Practical Example: Support and Resistance on a Stock<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The numbers below are hypothetical and meant only to show the method. Suppose a stock has bounced three times from around \u20b91,480 and stalled twice near \u20b91,620 on the daily chart.<\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Detail<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Bounce Trade<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Breakout Trade<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Zone<\/td>\n<td>Support \u20b91,470 to \u20b91,490<\/td>\n<td>Resistance \u20b91,610 to \u20b91,630<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Entry<\/td>\n<td>\u20b91,485 after a bullish candle<\/td>\n<td>\u20b91,635 after a strong close<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Stop-loss<\/td>\n<td>\u20b91,462<\/td>\n<td>\u20b91,608<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Target<\/td>\n<td>\u20b91,610<\/td>\n<td>\u20b91,720<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Risk vs reward<\/td>\n<td>\u20b923 vs \u20b9125 (about 1:5)<\/td>\n<td>\u20b927 vs \u20b985 (about 1:3)<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>Notice how the stop sits just beyond the zone.
