I feel confused; I thought resistance was also about lows. Is it possible that D could be correct too?

I practiced a question like this before, and I think resistance is about failing to break past previous highs, so I'm leaning towards C.

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember something about resistance being related to highs. Could it be A or C?

I think resistance is when the price can't go above a certain level, so maybe it's option C?

Okay, I got this. Resistance is when the price can't surpass a previous high or low. So the correct answer here is C - inability to surpass prior high.

Ah, I've seen questions like this before. Resistance occurs when the price is unable to break through a certain level, whether that's a prior high or low. I'll select the option that best matches that definition.

Ooh, this is a tricky one. I'm going with B - can't break below that prior low, that's gotta be resistance.

D seems like the right answer here. Can't go beyond that prior low? Textbook resistance!
