📊 Technical Analysis
🧠🔍What is Technical Analysis?
- Technical analysis is a method used to study the historical price movements of cryptocurrencies in order to predict future trends.
- It primarily relies on charts, price patterns, and technical indicators, rather than news or political events.
Why do traders use it?
Because the market shows patterns that repeat over time. Technical analysis helps you identify appropriate entry and exit points, understand whether trends are bullish, bearish, or sideways, and assess the strength of the current movement.
