Technical Analysis

Technical analysis is a methodology used by traders and investors to evaluate securities and identify trading opportunities by analyzing statistical trends gathered from trading activity, such as price movement and volume. It involves studying historical market data, primarily price and volume, to forecast future price movements. Technical analysts use various tools including chart patterns (like head and shoulders, triangles, and flags), technical indicators (such as moving averages, RSI, MACD, and Bollinger Bands), and volume analysis to identify trends, support and resistance levels, and potential entry/exit points for trades.
