Support and resistance levels

Flat horizontal lines pinned to the last swing high and low of each higher timeframe — the prices a bigger clock already agreed were worth defending.

Flat lines, not sloped ones

Where the trendlines lean, the support and resistance levels lie flat. For each of the same four higher timeframes, DarkWave marks a horizontal line at the last swing high — resistance — and another at the last swing low — support. They stay put until that timeframe prints a new pivot, so a level can hold across many sessions of your chart before it moves.

Resistance above in the bearish colour, support below in the bullish colour

Resistance is drawn in the bearish colour, support in the bullish colour, and line weight again climbs with the timeframe — a thin line is a one-hour pivot, a thick one is a four-hour or higher pivot that far more of the market is watching. When two timeframes would draw a level at nearly the same price, the indicator suppresses the duplicate so you see one clean line instead of a smear. What survives that filter is a level more than one clock cares about.

A flat level is a memory. It marks the price where a higher timeframe last turned — and price tends to remember.
