What is technical analysis?

Technical analysis is a method used to evaluate and predict future price movements of financial assets—such as shares—by studying historical market data, particularly price and volume. Unlike fundamental analysis, which focuses on economic indicators, company earnings, and financial health, technical analysis is entirely driven by market behaviour.

Traders often combine multiple technical tools to gain clearer insights into when to buy or sell. These tools include:

  • Charts and price patterns
  • Technical indicators and drawing tools
  • Market sentiment and psychology
  • Risk and money management strategies
