When it comes to technical analysis, identifying support and resistance levels is like finding the map before starting a journey. These zones act as psychological and structural markers where price tends to react, either bouncing back or reversing direction. But while most traders rely on candlestick or bar charts to spot them, there’s a cleaner, noise-free alternative that can make these levels stand out even more clearly – the Renko Chart.
What is a Renko Chart?
The Renko chart is a Japanese charting technique designed to filter out market noise and focus purely on price movement. Unlike traditional charts that plot price against time, Renko charts build “bricks” only when the price moves a specified amount (known as the box size).
Here’s what makes Renko charts special:
- Time-independent: Bricks are formed only when the price changes by the set box size, regardless of how much time passes.
- Noise reduction: Smaller price fluctuations that don’t meet the box size requirement are ignored.
- Trend clarity: Bricks are typically white/green for bullish moves and black/red for bearish moves, helping traders spot trends effortlessly.
The result? A smoother visual representation of the market that makes trend identification and key levels far easier.

Introducing the Renko Multi-Support Pattern & Renko Multi-Resistance Pattern
While Renko charts already make it easier to spot price trends, Definedge has taken it a step further by introducing two powerful patterns for pinpointing support and resistance:
- Renko Multi Support Pattern
- Definition: Three red bricks (bearish) at the same level.
- Interpretation: This pattern indicates that price has found a floor after testing the same bearish level thrice or more; buyers have stepped in, causing a reversal.
Think of it as the market trying twice to break below a level but failing, which creates a potential base for the next rally.
Here is the chart:
2. Renko Resistance Pattern
- Definition: Three green bricks (bullish) at the same level.
- Interpretation: This pattern signals a ceiling where price struggles to move higher. After three or more failed attempts at breaking through, sellers take control and push the market down.
It is the market’s way of saying, “This is as far as we are going – for now.”
Here is the chart:
Scanning Made Simple with RZone
The real game-changer is that you no longer have to manually scan every chart to find these setups. Definedge’s RZone platform now allows you to scan for Renko Multi-Support Pattern and Renko Multi-Resistance Pattern across:

Why These Patterns Matter
- High-probability reversals: Multiple touches at the same level often mark strong support or resistance zones.
- Noise-free confirmation: Renko charts filter out minor price fluctuations, increasing the clarity of the signal.
- Works across markets: Whether you trade equities, commodities, or forex, the principle holds true.
- Great for breakout and pullback traders: These levels often act as launchpads for strong moves.
The market is full of noise, but your charts don’t have to be.
