Basic technical analysis for trading.
👩🎓 🧑🎓 “Technical analysis” is a method of studying stock behavior by analyzing charts to forecast future price trends. Technical analysts examine stock behavior based on price and trading volume (or trading value), considering them as important sources of information for technical analysis.
💥However, the strategies used in technical analysis are not formulated without principles. In fact, they are based on three concepts or beliefs:
1. Price Behavior Reflects All Information: According to this concept, the price of a stock reflects all relevant information. Economic, political, and other changes that impact supply and demand in the stock market will affect the price. Since the price is determined by the interaction of supply and demand, positive changes lead to increased demand surpassing supply (greater buying pressure than selling pressure), resulting in price increases. Conversely, negative changes lead to increased supply surpassing demand (greater selling pressure than buying pressure), leading to price declines.
👩🎓 🧑🎓 However, technical analysts primarily focus on price and volume data for analysis. This approach narrows the scope of study compared to fundamental analysis, which delves into the causes behind price changes. While analyzing fundamentals, the driving forces behind changes in supply and demand are thoroughly examined. Both approaches aim to solve the problem of determining the direction of stock prices, although they differ in their analytical models.
