This paper presents an artificial stock market that is able to reproduce both technical figures, such as the price bouncing between support and resistance lines, and some typical stylized facts of financial time series. The proposed mar ket implements a continuous double auction system where agents can either follow a fundamental or a chartist investment approach. Some novelties are introduced to this setting. Firstly, the fundamental strategy is based on a time-varying fundamental value, which does not exhibit the stylized facts of financial time series. The funda mental strategy tries to make the price follow this fundamental value. Secondly, chartist agents can adopt either a trend-following or a bouncing strategy. Interest ingly, chartist strategies are implemented taking into account the support and resis tance lines that each agent draws. As a result of both investment approaches, some typical technical figures can be spotted on the time series of the prices.
