First, let's start with a definition of a key level.
Key level is a single important historic price level on the chart,
from where a significant price movement initiated.


Usually, key levels are based on the edges of candlestick wicks.

Look at Gold chart on a 4H time frame.
I underlined a key level. You can see how strong was a bullish reaction to that. The price tested that level, bounced up and formed a long wick.



Key levels that are above current prices will be called resistances.
We will assume that sellers are placing their selling orders there.

The underlined level was a significant resistance in the past.
However, the market stopped respecting this level and it lost its importance.


Remember that you can find key levels on any time frame.
But key levels are not equal in their significance.
Key levels that are spotted on higher time frame will be stronger than key levels that are spotted on lower time frames.

On the chart on the left, I underlined key support and resistance levels on a daily time frame on Gold.
While on the right, I market key support and resistance levels on a 4H time frame.


Daily structures will be considered to be more significant structures.
Hence, the market reaction to such structures tend to be stronger.

In comparison to support and resistance areas,
key levels provide the safest points to look for a trading opportunity from.

Once you spotted a confirmation after a test of a key level,
simply set your stop loss below a support or above a resistance.
You will have a very good reward to risk ratio.

Key levels play a crucial role in technical analysis of Gold.
No matter whether you are day trader, scalper, swing trader or investor, key levels is the first thing that you should always start your analysis from.
