Essence of Technical Analysis
- Technical analysis studies the balance of supply and demand rather than being a mysterious method.
- It applies to any freely traded asset and helps understand the gap between intrinsic and market value.
Ignore Pattern Names, Focus on Meaning
- Don't focus on complicated pattern names in technical analysis; focus on their meaning.
- Recognize patterns as indicators of trend continuation or potential reversal based on supply and demand.
Price vs. Fundamentals Insight
- Owning a stock and owning a company are different; technicians focus on stock price behavior.
- Price action is what ultimately pays off, so studying price is essential regardless of fundamentals.
