<![CDATA[support and resistance basics, still the foundation in 2026]]>going back to basics question. in an era of order flow, ICT, SMC, liquidity grabs, and all the modern frameworks - does plain old support and resistance still work as a primary tool?

ive seen experienced traders dismiss SR as 'too simple' but also seen consistently profitable traders who basically only trade SR + price action. whats your honest take in 2026?

SR is foundational but inadequate alone for modern markets. algos do exploit obvious SR levels with stop hunts. layering SR with one or two confluence factors (HTF context, volume, momentum divergence) is significantly more reliable than SR alone. simple isnt the same as best.
