I think it is good to ask questions and realise there is no absolute answer. I read an interesting article today here and i find this type of thinking is the way to go to learn how to trade certain areas. Maybe the thread starter is too focused on a precise price level acting as support/resistance. In most cases, it's an area. If you are convince an area may act as demand or supply then you can enter at multiple levels within the area (practice known as averaging down) and the trick is to place your stop loss out of this area. At worse, if the trade does not behave as expected then you can expect to close your average position at break even or with a small loss.

Know how locate new buy interest or sell interest at those areas (i don't believe in a one price level), can give you the edge for to know if the break can be real or not
