Technical analysis is the study of price charts to identify trading opportunities. It is based on the idea that price reflects all market information and tends to move in patterns.

Key tools include candlestick patterns, support and resistance levels, trend lines, and indicators. These tools help traders understand market direction and potential entry and exit points.

Technical analysis does not guarantee accuracy. It provides probabilities. Traders who combine technical analysis with discipline and risk management perform far better than those who rely on tips or guesses.
