A method of forecasting the price movements of financial instruments based on the study of historical data, charts, and patterns. It is often used by traders to make decisions aimed at achieving short-term profits. Technical analysis is based on the principle that “the market discounts everything,” meaning all available information and expectations are already reflected in prices. It differs from fundamental analysis, which focuses on economic indicators, financial statements, and other factors that determine an asset’s intrinsic value.

These policies do not accumulate savings value and do not provide a payout upon survival if the covered risk does not occur. They are entirely intended to provide compensation to heirs or another designated beneficiary in the event of the insured’s death or permanent loss of working capacity.
