    Basically it is a “technical analysis” thing. Which basically means divination based on “shapes stonk line make”.

      Biggest issue I’ve seen with technical analysis like this is that it’s more a measure of market sentiment, not fundamentals. You’re using the crowd as an indicator without any idea of whether the crowd knows anything you don’t or not.

      So it’s a little more meaningful than dowsing rods and tarot cards, but only barely. Market sentiment can change on a whim.
