What is Technical Analysis?

<p>A stock chart rises, falls and moves sideways. What can those changes tell you?</p> <p>This SOFL lesson explains technical analysis: looking at past prices and trading activity for clues about what prices might do next. A simple example shows why a company&rsquo;s profits can rise while its share price falls.</p> <p>You&rsquo;ll see how technical analysis differs from studying a company&rsquo;s business, and why chart clues are never certain. New information can change prices quickly, and people can read the same chart in different ways.</p> <p>The lesson ends with a short activity to help you tell business information apart from price movements.</p>
