Charting of past prices

Can the charting of past prices be used to predict future prices?

E

Expert

Verified

Investors use several methods of technical analysis to predict the future prices, like candlestick chart analysis, moving average curve, etc. These methods essentially use the historic price patterns to predict the future stock price. The charting of past prices is useful because the stock market and other markets repeat themselves in predictable patterns that the trader can read the first part of a stock price pattern in order to anticipate the second. By executing well timed trades it is possible to profit from predicting stock price in this way.
