Wow, terrific analogy bro:
"Think of yourself as standing in a corner of a room whose walls were at, say, a 60 degree angle to each other. Say you were forced to lean into that corner, press your head into the wedge. And stay that way for days, weeks.
Wouldn't you get sick of it? Wouldn't you WANT TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?"
Yes I would! So the pattern I saw in the fast stochs are a stock's way of repeatedly banging it's head against the wall!
