$119.40 was resistance in May 2023. Some of the investors who sold then were happy when the price fell soon after. They thought they made a good decision.
$119.40在2023年5月是支撑位。一些在那时出售的投资者在价格很快下跌时感到高兴。他们认为自己做出了正确的决定。
But in January 2024 the resistance broke and the stock moved higher. When this happened, some of these sellers came to think they made a mistake and decided to buy their shares back if they can do so at the same price they sold them for.
但在2024年1月，支撑位被突破，股票价格上涨。这发生时，一些卖家开始认为自己犯了错误，并决定如果能在他们卖出时的同一价格买回股票。
So, when the stock dropped back to around $119.40 in March 2024 they placed buy orders. The large concentration of these orders formed support at the same price that had been resistance.
因此，当股票在2024年3月回落到约$119.40时，他们下了买入订单。这些订单的大量集中在曾经是支撑位的价格形成了压力位。
Similar action occurred at the $111.00 level. It was resistance in August 2023. Then it became support a year later in August 2024.
在$111.00处也发生了类似的情况。它在2023年8月是支撑位。然后在2024年8月一年后转变为支撑位。
In July 2022, the $95.00 level was resistance. It converted into support last month, and it may be support again if Merck reaches it.
在2022年7月，$95.00是支撑位。上个月它转化为压力位，如果默沙东达到这个价格，它可能再次成为支撑位。
As you can also see on the chart, sometimes stocks rally after they reach support. This happens when some of the buyers who created the support think they will get outbid. If someone else is willing to pay a higher price, that's who the sellers will go to.
正如您在图表中所看到的，有时股票在达到支撑位后会反弹。这发生在某些创建支撑位的买家认为他们会被出价更高的买家超越。如果有人愿意支付更高的价格，卖家就会去找他们。
As a result, they increase the prices they are willing to pay. Others see this and do the same. It can cause a snowball effect that pushes the stock higher and it may be about to happen with Merck.
因此，他们提高了愿意支付的价格。其他人看到这一点也采取了同样的做法。这可能导致雪球效应，推动股票价格上涨，并且默沙东可能即将发生这种情况。
