Análisis técnico
Gráficos, indicadores, patrones y estructura — la tradición occidental del análisis técnico.
Reading the market on the chart.
Technical analysis studies price behaviour (and often volume) to infer probabilities of continuation, reversal or congestion. It rests on observable rules, market context and risk management.
What it is for
Technical analysis interprets what the market does by observing candles, trends, levels, patterns and indicators derived from price. It complements price action (more structural) and cyclic analysis (more time-based).
