Technical analysis

A technical-analysis guide: reading charts, trends, support/resistance and the core indicators — RSI, MACD, moving averages — plus a tool that weights them automatically.

Technical analysis

Technical analysis forecasts likely price moves from price and volume history rather than fundamentals. The assumption: information is already in the chart and patterns tend to repeat. This guide covers the building blocks every trader should know.

Trend, support & resistance

It starts with the trend: up (higher highs/lows), down (lower highs/lows), or sideways. Support is where demand halts a drop; resistance is where supply caps a rise. Breaking these on volume is usually a meaningful signal.

RSI — Relative Strength Index

RSI ranges 0–100 and flags overbought (>70) or oversold (<30) conditions. It spots extremes but isn't enough alone — combine it with the trend.

MACD & moving averages

A moving average smooths noise and shows trend direction; a fast MA crossing above a slow one is a bullish signal. MACD measures momentum via the gap between two averages — its signal-line crosses mark acceleration or fading.

Why you weight indicators together

No single indicator is always right — RSI can read 'oversold' while the trend still falls. The edge is in weighting: when most indicators agree, the signal is stronger. analysto does exactly this, into one clear per-stock signal, for research only.

Frequently asked questions

Technical vs fundamental analysis?

Technical analysis studies price/volume to time entries; fundamental analysis studies company value (earnings, growth, debt). Many traders combine both.

Best indicator for beginners?

There's no single best. Moving averages and RSI are a friendly start, but the real strength is combining several with trend reading.

Does technical analysis actually work?

It provides probabilities, not certainty. It helps identify entries/exits and manage risk but guarantees nothing. On analysto it powers data weighting, not advice.
