An introduction to technical analysis
What is technical analysis?
Technical analysis is a method for evaluating securities based on past market activity. Technical analists use this method usually to look for trends that they can start trading in. They believe that the past price movement and volume (the total amount of transaction) are good indicators for forecasting the future price movement.
