The Illustrated Guide to Technical Analysis Signals and Phrases

The Illustrated Guide to Technical Analysis Signals and Phrases by Constance Brown is a visual encyclopedia for traders, analysts, and educators who want to understand, compare, and apply every major concept in technical analysis — from divergences and Fibonacci retracements to Gann angles, Elliott Waves, and RSI signals. Designed as a visual dictionary, the book brings more than 280 fully illustrated charts demonstrating how market signals actually appear in live conditions.

Brown’s objective is not merely to describe these techniques but to show them in action — under real price behavior. Every chart is drawn from authentic market data, illustrating differences between weak and strong signals, correct and incorrect interpretations, and realistic versus textbook formations. The book helps readers quickly recognize setups like key reversals, Fibonacci confluence zones, stochastic hooks, Gann fan projections, volatility bands, Elliott wave structures, and many more.

For the intermediate or advanced trader, this guide becomes an indispensable reference to test one’s chart-reading accuracy and build a consistent analytical language. For the newer student of market structure, it provides the foundation for mastering multiple technical systems side by side — momentum, geometry, time cycles, and intermarket relationships — in one comprehensive, practical atlas.

Unlike theoretical texts, Brown’s visual method bridges analysis with execution, showing traders exactly what a pattern or signal looks like before they trade it. From momentum divergences to planetary cycles, and from price smoothing envelopes to Gann time analysis, this book remains one of the most complete and visually rich guides in the field of professional technical analysis.

✅ What You’ll Learn:

• How to identify bullish and bearish divergences with momentum confirmation.
• The correct construction of chart styles: bar, candlestick, point-and-figure, swing, and Kagi charts.
