Introduction
Two major types of analysis for predicting the performance of a company’s stock fundamental technical
Technical looks for peaks, bottoms, trends, patterns, and
other factors affecting a stock’s price movement
makes a buy/sell decision based on those factors

Introduction
The world of technical analysis is huge
Hundreds of different patterns and indicators investors claim to be successful
![Page 8: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is Technical Analysis?
Method of evaluating securities by analyzing statistics generated by Market activityPast PricesVolume
Do not attempt to measure intrinsic valueInstead look for patterns and indicators on
charts to determine future performance
![Page 9: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is Technical Analysis? Technicians believe
that securities move in very predictable trends and patterns
Trends continue until something happens to change the trend
Until that change takes place, price levels are predictable
![Page 10: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
What is Technical Analysis? Most agree that
technical analysis is much more effective when combined with fundamental analysis
![Page 11: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
History and Background
Technical analysis is, perhaps, the oldest form of security analysis. It is believed that the first technical analysis occurred in 17th century Japan, where analysts used charts to plot price changes in rice.
![Page 12: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
History and Background
Indeed, many present-day Japanese analysts still rely on technical analysis to forecast prices in their stock exchange, which is the second largest in the world. In the United States, technical analysis has been used for more than 100 years
![Page 13: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Technical Analysis vs. Fundamental AnalysisTechnical analysis involves the development
of trading rules based on past price and volume data for individual stocks and the overall stock market.
Fundamental analysis involves economic, industry, and company analysis that lead to valuation estimates for companies, which can then be compared to market prices to aid in investment decisions.
![Page 14: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Advantages of Technical Analysis
Unlike fundamental analysis, technical analysis is not heavily dependent on financial accounting statementsProblems with accounting statements:
Lack information needed by security analystsMany psychological and other non-
quantifiable factors do not show up in financial statements
![Page 15: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Advantages of Technical Analysis
Fundamental analyst must process new information and quickly determine a new intrinsic value, but technical analyst merely has to recognize a movement to a new equilibrium
Technicians trade when a move to a new equilibrium is underway but a fundamental analyst finds undervalued securities that may not adjust to “correct” prices as quickly

Challenges to Technical Analysis
Challenges to basic assumptionsEmpirical tests of Efficient Market Hypothesis
(EMH) show that prices do not move in trends
Challenges to technical trading rulesRules that worked in the past may not be
repeatedPatterns may become self-fulfilling propheciesA successful rule will gain followers and become
less successfulRules all require subjective judgment

The Bar Chart
Some of the most popular type of charts
Advantage is that it show the high, low, open and close for each day
![Page 23: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Candle Stick Charting
![Page 25: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Candle Stick ChartingGreen is an example
of a bullish pattern, the stock opened at (or near) its low and closed near its high
Red is an example of a bearish pattern. The stock opened at (or near) its high and dropped substantially to close near its low

Point and Figure Chart
Somewhat rarePlots day-to-day increases and declines in
price.A rising stack of XXXX’s represents increasesA rising stack of OOOO’s represents
decreases.Typically used for intraday chartingIf used for multi-day study, only closing
prices will be used

Point and Figure Chart
Helps to filter out less-significant price movements allowing analyst to focus on most important trends
Used to keep track of emerging price patternsNo time dimension

Technical Indicators
There are, literally, hundreds of technical indicators used to generate buy and sell signals.
We will look at just a few that I use:Relative Strength Index (RSI)On Balance VolumeBollinger Bands
![Page 30: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Relative Strength Index (RSI)
A comparison between the days a stock finishes up against the days it finishes down.
Big tool with momentum tradingRanges from 0 to 100
Stock considered overbought around the 70 levelStock considered oversold around 30
The shorter the number of days used to calculate the more volatile
![Page 31: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
![Page 32: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
On Balance Volume
On Balance Volume was developed by Joseph Granville, one of the most famous technicians of the 1960’s and 1970’s.
OBV is calculated by adding volume on up days, and subtracting volume on down days. A running total is kept.
![Page 33: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
On Balance Volume
Granville believed that “volume leads price.”
To use OBV, you generally look for OBV to show a change in trend (a divergence from the price trend).
If the stock is in an uptrend, but OBV turns down, that is a signal that the price trend may soon reverse.
![Page 34: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Bollinger BandsBollinger bands were created by John BollingerBollinger Bands are based on a moving average
of the closing price.They are two standard deviations above and
below the moving average.A buy signal is given when the stock price closes
below the lower band, and a sell signal is given when the stock price closes above the upper band.
In my experience, the buy signals are far more reliable than the sell signals.
![Page 35: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Resistance and Support
Price levels at which movement should stop and reverse direction. Act as floor and ceilingDifferent strengths (major and minor)
SupportPrice level below the current market price at
which buying interest should be able to overcome selling pressure and thus keep the price from going any lower
![Page 36: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Resistance and SupportResistance
Price level above the current market price, at which selling pressure should be strong enough to overcome buying pressure and thus keep the price from going any higher
![Page 37: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Head and Shoulders
Resembles an “M” in which a stock’s priceRises to a peak and then declines, thenRises above the former peak and again
declines, and thenRises again but not the second peak and again
declines
The first and third peaks are shoulders, and the second peak forms the head.
Very bearish indicator
![Page 39: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
![Page 40: Technical Analysis](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022022404/54633923af795904248b4823/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Double BottomOccurs when a stock price drops to a similar
price level twice within a few weeks or months
The double-bottom pattern resembles a “W”Buy when the price passes the highest point
in the handle.In a perfect double bottom, the second
decline should normally go slightly lower than the first decline to create a shakeout of jittery investors
The middle point of the “W” should not go into new high ground.
This is a very bullish indicator

ConclusionTechnical analysis is a particular approach to
investing that will appeal to some investors and not to others.
Whereas most investors concentrate on the fundamentals of a company (turnover, profits, growth etc), technical analysts are concerned with the share price itself.
They believe that prices are driven by the psychology of investors rather than fundamentals. By understanding investor psychology, they can predict which way prices will move.
