Resistance Level

A resistance level is a price point at which an asset has historically struggled to move above, as selling pressure tends to increase around that level. Resistance levels are a core concept in technical analysis, used to identify potential entry and exit points. When price approaches a resistance level, many traders anticipate a reversal and sell, creating a self-fulfilling dynamic. One-Signal deliberately avoids technical analysis concepts such as resistance levels in its signal methodology — specifically to avoid the self-fulfilling nature of widely followed indicators. Instead, our signals are based entirely on sentiment indicators including the VIX, put/call ratio, and sentiment surveys, which measure real investor positioning rather than chart patterns. This results in a more independent, forward-looking signal. See our methodology here.
