In technical analysis, a 'resistance level' refers to:

A resistance level is a price at which selling pressure is expected to stop or reverse an upward price move, acting as a ceiling. Support is the opposite concept, a floor where buying interest halts a decline.

  2. BA price level at which buying is expected to halt a downward move
  3. CThe average price over the last 200 days
  4. DThe intrinsic value found from discounted cash flows

Resistance is a price ceiling where supply is expected to stop a rise. The level where buying halts a fall is support, so that option is the opposite. Moving averages and intrinsic value are different concepts.
