Introduction

Technical analysis (TA) operates as a tool set of strategies, methodologies, and analyses for market trading. Unlike fundamental analysis (FA) which studies financial and economic factors or relationships, TA studies the historical price evolution, patterns, or movements that rely on past market data.
