A lot of things go into creating resistance and support for the markets. For sure the 50, 200, 250 day moving averages are a solid part of that. So are volume patterns, aka MP study. Likewise many things. But if we overlaid everything on a chart that mattered, we'd never see the price bars behind it.
Big picture for me via swing trades is foremost the gaps. Those holes will all be filled, sooner or later. The "later" part may be months or years... never know. Basically I'll try to position myself from break points toward the gaps and hold into the gaps if/when possible on the swing trade side.
The intraday trading segment of business doesn't really need that information. Trend - countertrend swings that make up intraday noise can be profitable enough unto themselves
