More than 6000 altcoins are alive in the market so its is 100 times harder than reading 750+ page book. Technical analysis won't work in this way, it is possible to make analysis only after you pick that coin and dig deep to understand how the future movements will be. Even if you predict still the probability of your predictions come true is very less.
I would say it would be better to stick to the coins with a high market cap and 24 hour trading volume. Prices of Coins with no trading volume or liquidity are so hard to analyze as they can easily be manipulated
