In finance, technical analysis is an analysis methodology for analysing and forecasting the direction of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume. As a type of active management, it stands in contradiction to much of modern portfolio theory. The efficacy of technical analysis is disputed by the efficient-market hypothesis, which states that stock market prices are essentially unpredictable, and research on whether technical analysis offers any benefit has produced mixed results.

Fundamental analysisFundamental analysisFundamental analysis, in accounting and finance, is the analysis of a business's financial statements (usually to analyze the business's assets, liabilities, and earnings); health; competitors and markets. It also considers the overall state of the economy and factors including interest rates, production, earnings, employment, GDP, housing, manufacturing and management. There are two basic approaches that can be used: bottom up analysis and top down analysis.Dow theoryThe Dow theory on stock price movement is the precursor to technical analysis and is also part of modern technical analysis.

trading indicator used in technical analysis of securities prices, created by Gerald Appel in the late 1970s.

The MACD indicator (or "oscillator") is a collection of three time series calculated from historical price data, most often the closing price.Moving averageMoving averageIn statistics, a moving average (rolling average or running average or moving mean or rolling mean) is a calculation to analyze data points by creating a series of averages of different selections of the full data set. Variations include: simple, cumulative, or weighted forms. Mathematically, a moving average is a type of convolution. Thus in signal processing it is viewed as a low-passfinite impulse response filter.Candlestick chartCandlestick chartA candlestick chart (also called Japanese candlestick chart or K-line) is a style of financial chart used to describe price movements of a security, derivative, or currency. While similar in appearance to a bar chart, each "candle" represents four important pieces of information for that day: open and close in the thick body, and high and low in the "candle wick".Point and figure chartPoint and figure (P&F) is a charting technique used in technical analysis. Point and figure charting does not plot price against time as time-based charts do.

A replication of Martineau (2022). The efficient-market hypothesis (EMH) is a hypothesis in financial economics that states that asset prices reflect all available information.PricePriceA price in economics is the amount of money that buyers are willing and able to pay for a particular good or service, and that sellers are willing to accept. In some situations, especially when the product is a service rather than a physical good, the price for the service may be called something else such as "rent" or "tuition". Prices are influenced by production costs, supply of the desired product, and demand for the product.Active managementActive management (also called active investing) is an approach to investing. In an actively managed portfolio of investments, the investor selects the investments that make up the portfolio. Active management is often compared to passive management or index investing.
