The Basics of Technical Analysis
In financial markets, people often react predictably to publicly available information. For instance, if a stock's price rises to a certain level and then falls, investors may hesitate to hold the stock if it later exceeds that price again. This phenomenon is known as a "resistance" line. Technical Analysis involves identifying such patterns and making predictions based on them.
Key Patterns in Technical Analysis
1. Head and Shoulders: This pattern forms when a stock's price rises, falls, climbs higher, then drops to a previous level, and rises once more to the initial level before declining. When the price falls below the "neckline," it’s likely to continue downward. This indicates a short-sell opportunity. An inverted version of this pattern suggests a buying opportunity.
2. Cup and Handle: Here, the stock’s price drops, then rises to form a "cup," dips slightly, and rises again to create the "handle." When the stock reaches the top of the cup for the third time, it's expected to increase past the previous resistance.
3. Triangle or Wedge: This pattern occurs when the stock’s price fluctuates with decreasing peaks and troughs, creating a triangular shape. A breakout from this pattern suggests a continuation in the breakout direction.
4. Double Top: The stock rises, falls, and rises again to the same level as before, forming an "M" shape. If it breaks below the midpoint, further decline is expected, suggesting a short-sell. An inverted "W" pattern signals a buying opportunity.
