John J Murphy - Book on Technical Analysis. Regarded by many traders as the technical bible of Trading any markets by use of Technical Analysis. It’s an old school approach, but still very active in the markets. A good read in my view.
There are a ton of technical analysis books out there, they are all pretty similar, but the Murphy book that Jezzode posted is a really good one. If you plan to trade using candles there are some great books on that as well. The for dummies books provide some good information and are a bit more of an easy read compared to the text book type books.
How about this e-book. I think it has full foundation knowledge for beginners. Have a looks
