Technical Analysis
Technical analysis is a methodology used in financial markets to evaluate and predict price movements by analyzing statistical trends gathered from trading activity, such as price and volume. It focuses on studying charts and using indicators to identify patterns and signals, rather than examining a company's fundamentals. This approach is commonly applied to stocks, forex, cryptocurrencies, and other tradable assets.
Developers should learn technical analysis when building or working on financial technology (fintech) applications, such as trading platforms, algorithmic trading systems, or investment tools, to understand market behavior and integrate charting features. It's also valuable for roles in quantitative finance, data analysis for trading strategies, or any project involving real-time market data visualization and prediction models.
