Stock Of The Day: Exxon Mobil Hits A Ceiling?
Stock Of The Day: Exxon Mobil Hits A Ceiling?
Resistance levels are a large concentration of traders and investors who are looking to sell their shares at, or close to, the same price. The "level" is typically more of a range than a particular price.
支撐位是一大批希望以或接近同一價格賣出股票的交易者和投資者的集中地。這個「位」通常更多是一個區間而不是一個具體的價格。
Sometimes these levels and ranges are clear and well-defined.
有時這些位和區間是清晰和明確的。
As you can see on the following chart, that is the case with the $119.75 level for Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE:XOM). This is why it's the Stock of the Day.
正如您在下圖中所看到的，對於埃克森美孚股票（紐交所：XOM）來說，$119.75的位是明確的。這就是爲什麼它是當日的熱門股票。
Markets are driven by supply and demand. If there is more demand (buy orders) than supply (sell orders), the shares will move higher as the traders outbid each other to attract sellers.
市場是由供需驅動的。如果有更多的需求（買單）而供應（賣單）不足，股票將上漲，因爲交易者爭相出價吸引賣家。
At resistance levels, there is enough supply to satisfy all of the demand. This is why rallies tend to end or pause when they reach them.
在支撐位上，有足夠的供應來滿足所有的需求。這就是爲什麼當股票漲到這個位時，漲勢往往會停止或暫停。
Sometimes when a stock reaches a resistance level it reverses and heads lower. That has been the case with ExxonMobil and the $119.75 level since May. Each time the shares reached it a sell-off followed.
有時，當股票達到支撐位時，它會轉頭向下走。這正是埃克森美孚和$119.75位自5月以來的情況。每次股票到達這個位後，都會出現拋售。

This happens when some traders and investors who created the resistance with their sell orders become nervous. They know that the buyers will go to the seller willing to sell their shares at the lowest price.
這種情況發生在一些交易員和投資者通過他們的賣單創建支撐位後變得緊張。他們知道買家會轉向願意以最低價賣出股票的賣家。
As a result, they reduce the prices they are willing to sell their shares for. Other nervous traders and investors see this and do the same. It starts a snowball effect of sellers undercutting each other.
結果是他們降低了他們願意以哪個價格賣出股票。其他緊張的交易員和投資者看到這一點，也會這樣做。這啓動了一個賣方之間相互壓低價格的連鎖反應。
This results in the shares moving in a downtrend.
這導致股票走勢向下。
Resistance levels can stay intact for a long time. This means that if ExxonMobil reaches this resistance again, there's a good chance another sell-off follows.
支撐位能夠長時間保持完整。這意味着如果埃克森美孚再次觸及這個支撐位，很有可能會出現另一輪拋售。
Resistance can stay intact because of buyer's remorse. There are investors and traders who bought the stock while it was at resistance who think they made a mistake when the price heads lower.
支撐位能夠長時間保持完整是因爲買家後悔。在支撐位時購買該股票的投資者和交易員認爲當價格下跌時犯了錯誤。
They decide that they want to sell their stock. So, if the shares eventually rally back to the resistance, these remorseful buyers place sell orders. If there are enough of these order, it will create resistance at the same level that had previously been resistance.
他們決定要賣出他們的股票。因此，如果股票最終反彈到支撐位，這些後悔的買家會下賣單。如果有足夠多的這類訂單，將會在之前的支撐位上形成新的支撐位。
