Technical analysis is one of two major methods for making stock-trading decisions. Whereas fundamental analysis looks at the value of the company behind the stock, technical analysis ignores this completely and focuses solely on price movements. Technical traders use charts and other tools to analyze a stock's price and trade volume and predict how a stock will move.
