Technical analysis is the study of Anglo American price charts to anticipate where the market may move next. Rather than focusing on the underlying fundamentals, technical traders examine the structure of Anglo American price itself — trends, support and resistance levels, and the patterns that tend to repeat across the Shares market. The goal is not certainty but probability: stacking evidence so the odds favour your trade.
Start with the trend. On any Anglo American chart, higher highs and higher lows define an uptrend, while lower highs and lower lows define a downtrend. Mark the key support and resistance levels where Anglo American has repeatedly reversed, because those zones often produce the cleanest reactions. Layer in chart patterns — triangles, flags, double tops and bottoms — to time entries around those levels.
Indicators add a second dimension to Anglo American analysis. Moving averages smooth the trend, RSI flags overbought and oversold conditions, and MACD highlights momentum shifts. Use them to confirm what price is already telling you rather than as standalone signals. Combine a clean read of Anglo American structure with one or two indicators, and always confirm your bias on a higher timeframe before acting.
