What the technical analysis guide covers
Technical analysis is the study of price charts to understand how a market has behaved and where it might react. The building blocks are support and resistance, candlestick and chart patterns, and a small number of indicators such as moving averages. Used well, it is a framework for making decisions under uncertainty. It is not a crystal ball, and no pattern predicts the future with certainty.
