A chartist, also known as a technical analyst, is a person who analyzes financial market data using charts and technical indicators to identify patterns and predict future price movements. Chartists believe that price movements follow a pattern that can be identified and used to make investment decisions. They use various charting tools to analyze trends, support and resistance levels, and other technical indicators to predict future price movements in the market. Chartists often work in conjunction with fundamental analysts to arrive at their investment decisions.
