Answer 1

Answer:

Trend analysis                    

Explanation:

Trend analysis refers to the methodology used throughout the technical analysis that aims to predict future trends in stock prices based on survey data currently identified.

Such analysis is based on the assumption that what happened recently provides merchants with a concept of what is going to occur in the future. Three major types of patterns exist short-, intermediate-and lengthy-term.

Trend analysis attempts to anticipate a trend, like a bull market pass, and ride that pattern until data shows a trend turnaround, like a bull-to-bear sector. Trend analysis is beneficial since moving with, but not against, patterns will result to an investor's revenue.
