-
A is a support level and B is a resistance level
Correct Answer
A. A is a resistance level and B is a support levelExplanation
In technical analysis, resistance level refers to a price level where the stock or asset tends to stop rising and may reverse its direction. On the other hand, a support level is a price level where the stock or asset tends to stop falling and may reverse its direction. Therefore, if A is a resistance level, it means that the price tends to stop rising at that level, and if B is a support level, it means that the price tends to stop falling at that level.Rate this question:

It is 5 minutes before the release of the UK Services PMI, and we are trading near the low of yesterday where I want to go long from. What should I do ?
-
It is 8.25am and I get in the trade right now because Services PMI is not an important piece of economic data for the UK

-
It is 9.25am and I wait for the data to be released before getting involved because the data could reverse my bias

It is 10.25am and I wait for the data to be released before getting involved because the data could reverse my bias
Correct Answer
A. It is 9.25am and I wait for the data to be released before getting involved because the data could reverse my biasExplanation
The correct answer is to wait for the data to be released before getting involved because the data could reverse the trader's bias. This is because the trader is near the low of yesterday and wants to go long, but the release of the UK Services PMI could potentially change the market conditions and the trader's bias. Therefore, it is important to wait for the data to be released before making any trading decisions.Rate this question:
