Abstract
This review paper thoroughly examines the role of technical analysis in energy and financial markets with a primary focus on its application, effectiveness, and comparative analysis with fundamental analysis. The discussion encompasses fundamental principles, investment strategies, and emerging trends in technical analysis, underscoring their critical relevance for traders, investors, and analysts operating within these markets. Through the analysis of historical price data, technical analysis serves as a crucial tool for recognizing market trends, determining trade timing, and managing risk effectively. Given the complex nature of energy and financial markets, where many factors influence prices, the significance of technical analysis is particularly pronounced. This review aims to provide practical insights and serve as a roadmap for future research in the realm of technical analysis within energy and financial markets. This review contributes to the ongoing discourse and advancement of knowledge in this crucial field by synthesizing existing perspectives and proposing avenues for further exploration.
