Satish: I've no idea why you think I'm mad at you. I like to know what good TAs say, ("good" meaning those who know their theory and who can relate it with logical consistency to the fundamentals). I don't find TA prediction worth very much, but often the arguments TAs use to generate prediction provides factual information about volume and momentum. The better TAs seem to be FAs in disguise.

Acompora statements yesterday sums up the futlity of TA. He said that although all the TA analysts agreed that the market should have corrected further, the market wanted to go higher.

(BTW he acted like this before the October lows - having given mild warnings - and been rewarded with a dip - he then said because the nifty fifty wanted to go higher the market would not correct further; that afternoon he changed his mind and said we were now in a bear market - what happened in the intervening couple of hours? - the nifty fifty decided they wanted to go lower.)

Satish: Sounds like a TA overdose to me. <gggg> Overbought and oversold indicators are "secondary" indicators, so they shouldn't be given as much weight. The "indicator" that's blatantly missing on this chart is VOLUME. A stock moving up on increasing volume is always a "buy signal" unless the stock is extended too far from a base - CPQ isn't.
