What are the two types of technical analysis

Technical analysis is the foundation every trader needs to master before risking real capital, and this video breaks down the two main approaches you'll encounter in the markets.

In this video, we dive into the difference between classical technical analysis and modern quantitative analysis — two methods that both study price and volume history, but approach forecasting in completely different ways. Whether you're a beginner trying to understand chart patterns or an experienced trader looking to sharpen your indicator-based strategy, this breakdown will help you see which approach fits your trading style and timeframe.

What you'll learn in this video:

The core difference between classical (chart-pattern) and quantitative (indicator-based) technical analysis
How trendlines, support/resistance, and chart formations work in classical analysis
Key indicators like RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and moving averages used in quantitative analysis
Why day traders lean toward automated indicators while swing traders blend both methods
How market liquidity affects which type of technical analysis is more reliable
A practical framework for combining both approaches before entering a trade

Technical analysis isn't about picking one method and ignoring the other — it's about understanding when each type of analysis gives you an edge. By the end of this video, you'll have a clearer framework for reading charts and confirming your trades with data-driven signals.
