Ever notice how grown men treat chart patterns like horoscopes? They'll dismiss astrology but spend hours drawing lines on candlesticks, convinced it predicts the future. Technical analysis has become the socially acceptable mysticism for traders who think they're too rational for fortune-telling.

Haha, true, I've never heard that drawing lines can predict price movements.

Haha, seriously, those people who draw lines are so confident, but they end up losing even more miserably than those who believe in astrology.

Haha, that argument is a bit harsh, but I have to say some people are indeed overly obsessed with technical analysis.

Hi, you're absolutely right, haha. The guys around me who claim to be doing "rational analysis" mock stock traders for believing in astrology, but then turn around and spend ages studying candlestick charts. It's honestly hilarious.

Haha, exactly, you nailed it... My friends who trade are just like that: they laugh at aunties trading stocks for checking horoscopes, while they themselves stare at candlestick charts studying head and shoulders patterns.

Haha, that hits close to home. It's just tarot cards with a different name.

Haha, isn't this just a refined form of self-deception? Mocking fortune-telling on one hand while getting obsessed with drawing lines on charts on the other.
