Technical analysis is essential when investing in the market.

In this episode of Stocks in Translation, Markets and Data Editor Jared Blikre and Producer Sydnee Fried are joined by Patrick Dunuwila, Founder and Editor of The Chart Report.

The group explores technical analysis, or "technicals," which, as Blikre explains, "analyzes price movements and chart patterns to predict future trends."

“Ultimately… what technicals really provides you is a way to manage risk… A lot of people like to think of it as predictive,” says Dunuwila.

Having spent time on the fundamental side of the market, Dunuwila shares why he shifted to technicals.
