What is Support?
A price area where buying has repeatedly absorbed selling, so declines have stalled there.
Support is a zone, not a line: previous lows, high-volume areas and round numbers all produce resting demand. The more often a level held, the more people watch it.
Support can fail. When it does, the move through it is often fast, because the orders that defended it are gone.
How our model uses it
Nearest support levels are computed from the price history and stored with the coin's technicals.
