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.
正如您在图表上看到的，这个水平在十月份曾是压力位。许多在这个压力位卖出的投资者和交易员认为，在价格不久后下跌时，他们做出了一个好的决定。
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，支撑位被打破，股票跳空上涨。当这种情况发生时，一些卖出的人开始后悔他们的决定。一些人决定回购他们的股票。
But they would only do so if they could buy them at the same price they were sold for.
但只有在他们以同样的价格买入时才会这样做。
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，股票回落到他们的卖出价格时，他们开始下买盘。这些订单的大量集中形成了之前的压力位。
Sometimes stocks rally after they drop to resistance.
有时，当股票下跌到支撑位时会反弹。
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.
这一现象发生是因为一些买家变得紧张。他们知道卖方会去寻找愿意支付最高价格的人。他们害怕会被其他买家买盘。
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.
于是，他们提高了自己的买盘价格。其他紧张的买家看到这一点也做了同样的事情。这可能导致滚雪球效应或者竞标战，推动价格上涨。
Levels that had been resistance can become support. Stocks tend to rally after reaching support. Shares of Autodesk may be about to move higher.
曾经是压力位的水平可以变成支撑位。股票在到达支撑位后往往会反弹。欧特克的股票可能即将上升。
