Support and resistance are price levels where reactions have repeated

Support and resistance are not 'lines'

• What support and resistance really are is the resting orders (liquidity) piled at that price level and people's memory

• Price stops there because of the buy orders placed at that spot and the break-even mindset of people trapped there in the past

The essence of role reversal

• When support breaks, the people who bought at that price wait to sell at breakeven → the same price now becomes resistance

• The price did not change; the direction of the orders stacked there did

Why it eventually breaks

• Each touch uses up the resting orders at that price level — support is fuel

• The more touches make it look strong, the less fuel remains, and it breaks the moment there is no volume left to hold

That is why support with no volume is meaningless. Support is really liquidity. The question is not 'the price' but 'whether orders remain at that spot'.

Have you checked whether the support you are watching still has volume (orders) left to hold it?
