Further analysis is done through charting price patterns, recognizing candlestick patterns, and spotting signals or setups using a variety of indicators. It also includes drawing trendlines and plotting support and resistance. Using technical analysis, traders can potentially predict which way markets will turn next, and have a probability-based view that can be used to develop a trading plan. Trading plans using technical analysis have more accurate support and resistance levels, stop loss and take profit levels, and are consistently more successful as a result. Although technical analysis is a broad term covering all aspects of price action analysis, it often breaks down to these most basic building blocks.
