How to Use Technical Analysis Responsibly

Technical analysis describes what happened and what is happening. It does not predict what will happen. Use it to identify the current trend, key levels where the market may react, and the quality of participation (breadth). Combine it with fundamental context (valuation, earnings trajectory) and flow data (FII/DII positioning). Never rely on any single indicator. The strongest signals occur when technical, fundamental, and flow indicators align.
