Trendline
A line is drawn by connecting the highest or lowest prices to which a security has risen or fallen within a period. The line's angle shows whether the security is in a downtrend or an uptrend. If the security's price rises above a downward sloping line or drops below a rising uptrend line, analysts believe the security will start to move in a new direction.
-------------
A line drawn that connects either a series of highs or lows in a trend. The trendline can represent either support as in an uptrend line or resistance as in a downtrend line. Consolidations are marked by horizontal trendlines.
---------------
A straight line drawn to connect significant high or low prices of a security or index. If the security is advancing the low prices are used to construct the line (uptrendline). If the security is declining, high prices are used to construct the line (downtrendline). The theory is that a violation of the trendline shows a change in trend. Eg, if price has been advancing & then drops below the trendline, it is a sign that a trend change from up to down may be imminent. The weakness in trendlines is the subjectivity of deciding which high or low prices should be used to connect the lines. This is one of many areas at which the art & science of technical analysis meet.

Resistance level-
a term used in technical analysis indicating a specific price level at which a stock will have the inability to cross above. Recurring failure for the price to move above that point produces a pattern that can usually be shaped by a straight line.
Support level – a term used in technical analysis indicating a specific price level at which a currency will have the inability to cross below. Recurring failure for the price to move below that point produces a pattern that can usually be shaped by a straight line.
