Technical Analysts believe that every relevant market factor is already counted in the instrument’s price. As such, the only thing they need to analyse is the price movement.
Prices are always expected to form and follow trends, even at random. It is more likely for a price to continue a past trend than to move erratically.
Technical Analysts base their predictions on the observation that history tends to move in circles and thus repeat itself. They attribute historic price movement to market psychology based on fear or excitement. By trying to pinpoint these emotions when analysing chart patterns and understanding movement trends, analysts aim at predicting future price movement from market sentiment.
