1. 00:00Market Structure, Support & Resistance. Trends, ranges, swing points, breakouts and retests.
2. 00:05An uptrend is a sequence of higher highs and higher lows; a downtrend is lower highs and lower lows.
3. 00:12When those sequences break, structure has shifted and the trend is in question.
4. 00:17Support — a zone where buyers have repeatedly stepped in.
5. 00:22Resistance — a zone where sellers have repeatedly stepped in.
6. 00:27Broken support often becomes resistance (flip levels).
7. 00:32Draw zones, not exact lines — liquidity sits in areas.
8. 00:37The cleanest entries are retests of a broken level in trend direction.
9. 00:42Note: Consolidation (range) periods precede expansion. Trade ranges from the edges, trade trends on pullbacks — do not mix the two playbooks.

An uptrend is a sequence of higher highs and higher lows; a downtrend is lower highs and lower lows. When those sequences break, structure has shifted and the trend is in question.

• Support — a zone where buyers have repeatedly stepped in.
• Resistance — a zone where sellers have repeatedly stepped in.
• Broken support often becomes resistance (flip levels).
• Draw zones, not exact lines — liquidity sits in areas.
• The cleanest entries are retests of a broken level in trend direction.
