Fundamentals of Technical Analysis and Chart Patterns 📉

Background
💡 Chart patterns are recurring geometric shapes produced by the interplay of supply and demand in the market
🔥 These structures fall into two main categories: Reversal patterns and Continuation patterns

Focus
🧐 Patterns date back to Japanese rice candlestick charts in the 18th century, through their scientific codification by Edwards and Magee in 1948
💡 Reversal patterns such as head and shoulders and double top/bottom signal a change in the market's main trend
🔥 Continuation patterns such as flags and triangles indicate a temporary pause in price before the previous move resumes

Implications
💡 The ability to anticipate traders' future behavior by identifying breakout points of support and resistance lines
🧐 Fewer trader errors through understanding crowd psychology and the structure of fear and greed in the market

Conclusion
🧐 Chart patterns are a visual reflection of traders' collective behavioral psychology and a key tool for risk management 📈
