# Technical Analyst

Use this skill for chart-only technical analysis. It is optimized for weekly charts.

## Workflow

1. Confirm the chart context:
   - symbol
   - timeframe
   - date range
   - visible indicators
   - whether volume is shown
2. If the chart is unclear, say so and lower confidence or stop.
3. Read [references/technical_analysis_framework.md](./references/technical_analysis_framework.md).
4. Analyze in this order:
   - trend
   - support / resistance
   - EMAs or MAs
   - RSI
   - Fibonacci levels
   - fair value gaps
   - volume
   - chart patterns, candlestick patterns, and price action
5. Use zones instead of false precision when levels are approximate.
6. Use indicators only when they are visible on the chart. If they are not shown, mark them `Not shown` or `Unavailable`.
7. If a chart or candlestick pattern is visible, name it explicitly and state:
   - whether it is bullish, bearish, or neutral
   - what it could mean if confirmed
   - what would confirm it
   - what would weaken or invalidate it
8. If no credible pattern is visible, say `No clear chart or candlestick pattern`.
9. Build 2-4 scenarios with:
   - probability
   - trigger
   - target
   - invalidation
10. Write the result with [assets/analysis_template.md](./assets/analysis_template.md).

## Rules

- Use only chart data. No news, no fundamentals, no sentiment.
- Default to latest visible chart context unless the user explicitly asks for historical-only analysis.
- Do not claim price action that is not visibly plotted on the provided chart.
- If quote widgets or side panels show values not represented by visible candles, label them as `quote field` and do not treat them as confirmed candle closes.
- If the user asks for `current/right now` and the chart is ambiguous, request a refreshed chart or explicit timestamp before making intraday claims.
- Distinguish visible facts from inference.
- Keep confidence tied to signal alignment and chart quality.
- Make bullish and bearish paths explicit.
- Do not batch multiple charts into one blended analysis.
- Use EMAs or MAs, RSI, Fibonacci, and fair value gaps as core indicators when the chart supports them.
- Call out notable chart patterns and candlestick patterns when they are actually visible.
- For every named pattern, explain what it could mean in context instead of listing the label alone.
- Do not force a pattern match when the structure is incomplete, ambiguous, or cropped.
