As you can see on the chart, this level was resistance in October. Many of the investors and traders who sold at this resistance thought they made a good decision when the price dropped soon after.
正如您在圖表上看到的，這個水平在十月份曾是壓力位。許多在這個壓力位賣出的投資者和交易員認爲，在價格不久後下跌時，他們做出了一個好的決定。
But in early November the resistance broke and the stock gapped higher. When this happened, some of those who sold came to regret their decision to do so. A number of them decided to buy their shares back.
但是在11月初，支撐位被打破，股票跳空上漲。當這種情況發生時，一些賣出的人開始後悔他們的決定。一些人決定回購他們的股票。
But they would only do so if they could buy them at the same price they were sold for.
但只有在他們以同樣的價格買入時才會這樣做。
As a result, now that the stock has dropped back to their selling prices they are placing buy orders. The large concentration of these orders has formed support at the price that had been resistance.
因此，股票回落到他們的賣出價格時，他們開始下買盤。這些訂單的大量集中形成了之前的壓力位。
Sometimes stocks rally after they drop to resistance.
有時，當股票下跌到支撐位時會反彈。
This happens because some of the buyers become nervous. They know that the sellers are going to go to whoever is willing to pay the highest price. They are afraid that they will be outbid by other buyers.
這一現象發生是因爲一些買家變得緊張。他們知道賣方會去尋找願意支付最高價格的人。他們害怕會被其他買家買盤。
So, they increase their bid prices. Other nervous buyers see this and do the same thing. It could result in a snowball effect or bidding war that pushes the price up.
於是，他們提高了自己的買盤價格。其他緊張的買家看到這一點也做了同樣的事情。這可能導致滾雪球效應或者競標戰，推動價格上漲。
Levels that had been resistance can become support. Stocks tend to rally after reaching support. Shares of Autodesk may be about to move higher.
曾經是壓力位的水平可以變成支撐位。股票在到達支撐位後往往會反彈。歐特克的股票可能即將上升。
