How can we judge whether fear or greed is prevailing in a stock, ETF or index? It's not something that is shown by studying company reports. Some say that fundamental analysis helps you to know what to buy and technical analysis tells you when to buy (or sell as the case may be). Technical analysis uses price and volume alone, and assumes that everything we need to know is embodied in the chart. These charts are used to help identify patterns and trends that may give signals of possible future price movements.
