Picture this.

One of your close friends asks you about technical analysis. What do technicians do? "What even is technical analysis?" they ask.

Your first instinct is to dive down the rabbit hole of charts, indicators, and intermarket analysis. After your rambling, your friend is even more confused than before they asked.

That's the common mistake, one of the primary reasons why technical analysis often gets such a bad rap.
