Traders and investors are creatures of habit who reactand often overreactin predictable ways to rising or falling stock prices, breaking business news, andcyclical financial reports. Technical analysis is the art of observing how investors have regularly responded to events in the past and using that knowledge to accurately forecast how they will respond in the future. Traders can then take advantage of that knowledge to buy when prices are near their bottoms and sell when prices are close to their highs.
Since its original publication in 1980, and through two updated editions, Martin Pring's Technical Analysis Explained has showed tens of thousands of investors, including many professionals, how to increase their trading and investing profits by understanding, interpreting, and forecasting movements in markets and individual stocks.

- Relative strength, an increasingly important and until now underappreciated arm of technical analysis
- Application of technical analysis to contrary opinion theory, expanding the book's coverage of the psychological aspects of trading and investing
