Technicals

Technical analysis is a mechanism to identify trading opportunities in the stock market by evaluating statistical data. The statistical data comprises price movement, trading volume, moving average, historical data, charts, breakouts, correct buy points, proper buy zones. This strategy is based on the assumption that the past trading activity of a stock can be an indicator of its future price movements when analysed with suitable rules of trading. This method analyses the ways supply and demand for a stock may drive changes in price, volume, and implied volatility. First time investors often get confused between fundamental and technical analysis. While both methods are used to research and forecast future movement in stock prices, both are different in nature. Like the name suggests, fundamental analysis evaluates a stock on its inherent value i.e. fundamentals. This method involves evaluating a company’s financial statements to estimate the fair value of the business. On the other hand, technical analysis is based on statistical trends and assumes that the stock price has already factored-in all publicly available information. More
