Your level completely depends on how many points you have so it's possible to drop to a lower level if you lose points. Asking questions costs five points. (You get three points back when selecting the best answer.) To avoid this, use the search whenever you have a question to see if it has been asked and answered already.
The only other way to lose points is if a question or answer violates the community guidelines. Ten points are deducted for each violation, so it's best to be familiar with them. Check them out here:
At level 1 You can ask 5 questions and answer 20 question and vote 20.
At level 2 You can ask 10 questions and answer 40 question and vote 40 + from this level and above you can rate questions and answers for unlimited number.
At level 3 You can ask 15 questions and answer 60 question and vote 60.
At level 4 You can ask 20 questions and answer 80 question and vote 80.
At level 5 You can ask and answer unlimited of questions and vote 80.
At level 6,7 You can ask and answer unlimited of questions and vote 100.

Of course, your level will most likely only increase if you answer questions and vote on undecided questions regularly to earn more points.

Good Luck.
Yes it can. In fact, as of the writing of this answer, you have 254 points, so if you were to ask one more question, you'd be back on level 1.
Yes. If your point total drops below 250, you'll be back on level 1.
I don't think it can. I'm at level 2 and mine hasn't gone down any.
i'd think of so bc then u would be on the point the place u cant do a lot of something.... which would be difficult bc human beings would see u have been on point a million yet can vote?? soo.... no!
