Analysis
Objective: The objective of this assignment is to analyze a specific stock using a
combination of
behavioral finance and technical analysis to make informed investment decisions. You
will explore
how investor behavior and market psychology influence stock prices and how technical
analysis
can be used to identify potential trading opportunities.
Instructions:
Part 1: Behavioral Analysis
Choose a publicly-traded company and provide a brief overview of its business,
industry, and recent stock performance. Explain why you have selected this company
for analysis.
Conduct a review of literature on behavioral finance concepts such as herding behavior,
overreaction, underreaction, and market sentiment. Explore how these concepts impact
stock prices and the decision-making process of investors.
Analyze the behavioral factors that have influenced the stock price of the selected
company. Use real-world examples and case studies to support your analysis. Discuss
how investor sentiment and
psychological biases have played a role.
Evaluate the implications of investor behavior on the stock's valuation and future
prospects.
Part 2: Technical Analysis
Introduce the fundamentals of technical analysis, including key concepts such as
moving averages,
support and resistance levels, MACD, RSI, and trendlines.
Apply technical analysis to the stock of the selected company. Create charts and graphs
to
illustrate price trends, support and resistance levels, and key technical indicators.

historical price movements and patterns.
Identify potential entry and exit points for trading or investing in the stock based on
your technical
analysis.
Part 3: Integration and Investment Strategy

comprehensive
investment strategy for the selected stock. Explain how understanding investor behavior
can
complement technical analysis and vice versa.
