Can technical analysis give you an edge over the fundamentals?

From youtube.com/iguk_official

Axel is joined by Patricia Elbaz, FX Technical Analyst, for an in-depth discussion on how to read markets through the lens of technical analysis. Patricia walks through Dow theory from first principles, explaining primary, secondary and minor trends, the three phases of market movement, and how to identify distribution and accumulation. She then applies those frameworks live to GBP/USD, USD/JPY and Brent crude oil, breaking down chart patterns including shooting stars, harami candles and descending wedges. The episode also covers candlestick reading, psychological support and resistance levels, the role of discipline in trading, and why Patricia believes the weekly chart should always be your starting point. Whether you're new to technical analysis or want to sharpen your approach, this episode covers the foundations that every chart reader needs.
