Does a resistance/support line get weaker the more it is tested by price?

I think it does get weaker the more it is tested.

Yes, support and resistance levels usually get weaker the more times price touches them.

Every time the price hits a support or resistance level, it “uses up” some of the buying or selling pressure stored there.

Think of it like a door being kicked repeatedly — each kick weakens it until it eventually breaks.

So:

Support = buyers

Resistance = sellers

Each test consumes some of those buyers/sellers.

Some schools of thought say the more a S/R line is tested, the more reliable it is

Support becomes weaker with repeated tests

If the price keeps bouncing off a support level (e.g., S1), eventually:

Buyers get exhausted

The level becomes easier to break

A breakdown becomes more likely

That's why you might hear:

“The more times support is tested, the weaker it becomes.”

📈 Resistance also weakens

When the price keeps hitting a resistance level (e.g., R1):

Sellers get absorbed

The wall gets thinner each time

Breakout becomes more likely

This is why repeated touches often lead to breakouts.

Another school of thought said a support or resistance level broken with a momentum candle stick will always hold.
