Another way to use support and resistance is to trade outside of the range; in other words, to anticipate a breakout. This involves placing orders to buy above resistance and to sell below support. The rationale is that the market will gain momentum once it breaks out of the range, and thus by placing orders just below/above support/resistance, traders will be able to make big gains when the market moves out of the range. Momentum trading is a bit counter-intuitive, as it involves buying at a higher price and selling at a lower price.
Below is a chart that illustrates the concept of momentum trading. Note how the pair accelerates once it breaks out of a narrow range:
