A chartist is basically a trader who vibes mostly with charts to decode a financial instrument's past price tea, so they can flex on predicting its next moves. 📈💡

They also go by technical analysts or technical traders. 🤓

There are certain chart patterns these chartists peep as signals for an instrument's upcoming direction. 👀🔮

Chartists aren't like fundamental analysts, who scope out an asset's current deets to decide when it's lit to cop or drop. 💼🔍

Lots of traders mix both fundamental and technical analysis to cook up their trading game plan. 🔄🧠
