Understanding Price Patterns

Understanding price patterns is fundamental to making money with stocks. Too often investors buy and sell a stock not knowing whether it is on the upside or the downside, near a top or bottom or at a resistance or support level.

Before you buy or sell, be sure that you carefully examine a stock's long-term and short-term price pattern. Avoid buying on the downside, paying too much or selling near the bottom.

The following articles will help you understand many frequently occurring price patterns.
