Investing in the stock market is no easy feat and requires an educated mind and a well-defined strategy to pick stocks, especially in challenging market conditions as we have today. There are two main methods of stock-picking employed by investors around the world: Fundamental analysis and Technical analysis. Fundamental analysis employs a “fundamental” approach to selecting companies which means evaluating the business model of the company, the competence of the management, and the outlook for the future. The technical analysis, on the other hand, is done based on charts with pricing and volume data. Some people use technical analysis as their primary method of analyzing financial markets, while others use it in combination with other methods such as fundamental analysis or market news. Additionally, the popularity of technical analysis can vary from market to market and from one time period to another. In general, technical analysis is a widely used approach in the financial industry and is considered a useful tool for many traders and investors.
The term “breakout” in technical analysis refers to a situation in which the price of a stock moves significantly above or below a key technical level, such as a moving average or a trend line. This type of breakout can indicate a change in the stock’s trend, attracting the attention of traders and investors. Traders and investors often monitor technical breakouts as they can provide potential buy or sell signals.
