Problem is not with TA, but rather, those who don't study it 'cause they think it's not needed.
When I said 200% gain held after 4 days, that comes from TA and understanding what it means. 200% after 4 days is damn good when technically analyzing it from a dilutive POV.
Complete consolidation will be recognized by daily avg vol falling back to 15M-25M p/day.
Fwiw, TA is tantamount to 'solid DD'.
