What the resistance rejection is
Price rose back to a level that stopped it before, and turned down again.
Throw a ball up in a room and it bounces off the ceiling and falls. Resistance is a price ceiling where rises stopped before, because sellers were waiting there. A resistance rejection is when price climbs back to that ceiling and gets pushed down again.
