Technical analysis, growth investing, and value investing are all thoroughly examined, with an emphasis on the ideas and methods that support each approach. The study also looks at how data analytics and technological advancements are influencing contemporary trading strategies, such as algorithmic trading and artificial intelligence. This research attempts to provide a comprehensive understanding of the stock market by fusing theoretical ideas with real-world case studies and empirical data.
