Support and Resistance Practice

A real chart, with the coin and the dates hidden. Mark where you think price will stop falling or stop rising, then reveal the next 30 days of real candles and see which of your levels held.

Loading real candles...Last close = 100.00

Tap the chart to mark a level, up to three. Prices are an index set to 100 at the last visible close, so the coin stays hidden. The shaded band is the zone around each level.

How to play

Each round shows 100 daily candles from one of seven crypto markets on Bybit's spot exchange, starting at a random point since January 2022. Prices are shown as an index that equals 100 at the last visible close, so you cannot recognize the coin from its price. Tap the chart to mark up to three levels. A level below the last close counts as support, a level above it as resistance, and the game draws a shaded zone around each one.

When you are ready, press Reveal next 30 days. The real candles that came next appear one by one. For each level, the game counts every separate visit to the zone that closed back on the right side, which is a hold, and it stops at the first close through the far side of the zone, which is a break. After the reveal you see the coin, the dates and the levels picked by a simple swing-point algorithm, scored with the same rules, so you can compare your eye with a mechanical method. Five charts make one game.

Scoring

That balance is deliberate. A level placed right next to the price gets tested almost at once and breaks often. A level placed far away rarely matters. The best scores come from levels that price actually reaches and respects.

What support and resistance mean

Support is a price area where a falling market has stopped or bounced before. Resistance is an area where a rising market has stalled. Traders watch these areas on the idea that buyers and sellers remember prices that mattered recently: buyers who missed the last bounce may step in again, and holders who bought near a top may sell when price comes back to their entry. Whether that happens on a given chart is exactly what this game tests, and the answer changes from chart to chart.

Zones, not lines

Real markets rarely turn at exactly the same price twice, so the game scores zones instead of lines. The half-width of each zone is 0.35 times the average true range of the last 14 visible days, or 0.6% of the level, whichever is larger. Average true range measures how far price typically travels in a day, gaps included, so the zone is wider on a wild chart and narrower on a calm one. A quiet market that turns a fraction of a percent away from your line still counts as a hold, while a volatile one needs a bigger buffer.

What the real data shows

We ran the game's own algorithm over all seven markets, starting a new 100-day window every 5 days from 2022 to September 2026, and scored the nearest swing-point support and the nearest resistance on the 30 days that followed. That gave 2,219 support levels and 2,199 resistance levels.

In this data, levels bent before they broke. A first bounce was common and said little about the second or third test. That is worth remembering in the game and on real charts: a level that held once is not a promise. These windows overlap, so read the numbers as a description of this period, not as odds for the future.

Tips for better levels

When you want to trade the same kind of real charts, the chart replay lets you go long or short day by day, and how to read stock charts explains candles and trends.

Educational, not financial advice. The candles are real past prices from Bybit, but past levels do not predict future ones. The game uses no money at all.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the chart data real?

Yes. Every candle is a real daily candle from Bybit's spot market for one of seven pairs, BTC, ETH, SOL, XRP, DOGE, ADA or AVAX against USDT, from January 1, 2022 onward. The coin and the dates are revealed after each round.

How does the game decide if a level held?

A hold is a visit to the zone around your level where the candle closes back on the support or resistance side. A break is the first close beyond the far edge of the zone. A level that price never reaches scores zero.

Why does the algorithm sometimes beat me?

The algorithm marks the nearest swing-point support and resistance plus the most visited zone, which are sensible default levels. It has no judgment, so on many charts a careful player does better. Comparing both is part of the practice.

Can I play on a phone?

Yes. Tap the chart to add a level, use the plus and minus buttons to move it, or type an index value. The chart and the scoring work the same on phones and desktops.
