Analysis
Candlesticks, trends, support and resistance — the vocabulary of chart-based analysis, without the mysticism.

Technical analysis studies historical price and volume to assess how supply and demand are behaving. It does not predict the future; it provides a structured way to describe what the market is currently doing and to define levels where that assessment would change.
Each candlestick summarises trading over one interval: open, high, low and close. A daily candle compresses a day of activity; a five-minute candle shows the market's texture up close.
The same instrument can look very different across timeframes. Deciding which timeframe your analysis lives on — and sticking to it — removes a large source of confusion.
A market making higher highs and higher lows is trending upward; lower highs and lower lows define a downtrend. Support and resistance are areas where price has repeatedly stalled or reversed, often because meaningful volume changed hands there.
These levels are zones rather than exact prices, and they are most useful as places to structure risk: a level that fails tells you something concrete.
Moving averages, RSI and similar tools transform price history into a different view. They can help with consistency, but they lag by construction and none of them removes uncertainty. Treat indicators as lenses, not signals.
