Reading Support and Resistance Across Timeframes
The same price can be support on one timeframe and noise on another. Confusion comes from drawing every line on every chart in the same colour and treating them as equal.
Weekly levels anchor the map
A weekly support level forms where price reversed on a closing basis multiple times over months. These lines change behaviour slowly. When a weekly level breaks, expect the daily chart to trend until a new weekly structure forms — do not fade the move because a five-minute chart looks oversold.
Daily levels govern the session
Daily support and resistance tell you where today's auction is likely to pause or accelerate. A hold above yesterday's high with weekly bias behind it is a different trade from the same hold when weekly structure is bearish. Always read the daily level in weekly context.
Intraday levels are for timing, not bias
Four-hour and hourly zones help you enter within a plan you already wrote. They should not create the plan. If you find yourself reversing bias because of a fifteen-minute double bottom while daily structure is against you, the level is not wrong — your sequence is.
A simple colour code
In our workshops we use one colour for weekly lines, another for daily, and a third for intraday. When colours stack at the same price, confluence is real. When they scatter, you are probably over-marking.
Failed breaks and role reversal
When daily resistance breaks on a closing basis and retests as support, update your journal that session — do not rely on memory. Role reversal is valid but only when the closing break happened on the timeframe that owned the level.
Hands-on practice with live marking happens in the workshop. Bring your broker's chart setup and we will adapt the colour system to your screen.
