Support and resistance levels are critical, yet finding them is an art and not a science, channels are one of our favorite tools to do this, and once found they can show blue skies for higher prices.

Since computers came on the scene there has been an explosion of algorithms and all sorts of fancy widgets and gadgets to read price and volume action.
Readtheticker.com is old school and we base our primary chart reading on the theories of Wyckoff, Evans, Gann, Ney and Hurst. In all these theories support and resistance determination is critical, and parallel price channels drawn off A-B-C points which find true price support and resistance levels completes the task.
Below are two charts, standard price chart and a log price chart with parallel price channels, to show the important contrast.
Note: RTT Plus members can view the private members chart book of price channels on all major indexes, currency and crypto’s.

Chart 2- Log with channels.
You can see how price moves between channel lines. If you had known the A-B-C channel drawing points early forecasting price via support and resistance would be a breeze. Please note the A-B-C drawing points need not be extreme price points, they are the price points which generate the best channel fit to price.

..“Successful speculation requires staying on top of changes in industries and companies that either create new industries or improve on existing industries. The majority of your profits will come from these two … The shrewdest traders throughout history all adapted the skill of reactionary change, as the market constantly presents new and different opportunities.”..

..“If a speculator is correct half of the time, he is hitting a good average. Even being right 3 or 4 times out of 10 should yield a person a fortune if he has the sense to cut his losses quickly on the ventures where he is wrong.”..
