Technical analysis gets criticised as pattern-matching on noise, and much of what is published under its name deserves that. What survives scrutiny is narrower and more useful: price has memory at levels where a lot of orders sat, trend is a real and measurable condition, and volatility can be quantified.
These lessons stay on that side of the line. Each one states what the tool measures and where it stops working.
