About Technical Analysis
Technical Analysis on Pairmetric covers the core tools used to read a price chart — from the basics of candlesticks and support and resistance through to trend lines and common chart patterns.

These guides pair naturally with the Technical Indicators section for a deeper look at specific calculated indicators like MACD and RSI, and can be applied directly on the MetaTrader 5 platform's own charting tools.
