Question regarding S & R

Which is stronger ( lets say on 1Hr chart )

1. Horizontal Support or Resistance

or

2. A Trendline ie Horizontal Support or Resistance.


I know both togeather would be much better but given one or the other which of the 2 is considered the best to trade a break of ???

Depends on how much signs of S/R each one has etc.

Tjpld,

I wholeheartedly agree. I will add that the higher the timeframe, the more likely the S/R will hold. The more S/R is tested, the more likely it is to break.

The only real exception to this is at news times, when a sudden burst of volume/trader activity may create a temporary or false breakout, after which price may settle back within your S/R lines and hold or come back for the goodbye kiss.

Take a note of candle action. Pin bars on S/R lines are a good sign of bounces.

HORIZONTAL is stronger, IMO.

Horizontal support/resistance is less subjective and more reliable in my own opinion.In a nutshell,there is more power in the horizontal resistance/support than angular support or resistance.Although I watch both,yet I give more regards to the horizontal.
