Supply is synonymous with bearish, bears and selling.
Demand is synonymous with bullish, bulls and buying. These terms are used interchangeably throughout this and other articles. As demand increases, prices advance and as supply increases, prices decline. When supply and demand are equal, prices move sideways as bulls and bears slug it out for control. Support is the price level at which demand is thought to be strong enough to prevent the price from declining further.
