Technical Analysis 101Reading the Chart
Candles, trend, support and resistance, volume, moving averages and momentum — the core chart-reading toolkit, and how to combine it into a simple, repeatable setup.
Technical analysis is the study of price and volume to make decisions about entries, exits and risk. It isn't magic and it doesn't predict the future. Used well, it tells you where the market agrees and disagrees, where you're probably wrong, and when the odds are leaning your way.
