Although quite simple, this channel is very useful. The
channel will be utilized to estimate the area Buy or Sell. The second line of
the Channel serves as resistance and support. A line that is above it, serves as resistance, then a line under that
serves as a support. For easier again in the call, we call it the second
line as a line of resistance and support lines.
At the moment the price is at the support line area, then
you can to try to find a confirmation in the form of a bullish signal to do so
Buy, with a target at the resistance line. Alert if the price to break below
the support line, if it happen, it's good to consider closing or removing such
transactions. and also got to see the development of the situation in the
market. In the case of this will be discussed later in the topic further, still
follow this educational module.
Likewise, when prices are in the area resistance line. At
that moment you can try to look for bearish confirmation signal in doing a sell
with a target at the support line. Of course you also need to be vigilant if
penetrated the resistance line after you do sell.
