Rufus: A Cup-n-Handle is one of the most reliable and stongest long-term indicators to be found. And, I think now it fundamentally has to do with large shareholder and financing type shenanigans going on behind scenes. I'll need to do more research on it but, it showed here that what is KEY w/ TA on stocks is VOLUME!!!
Sustained volume. Exchange doesn't matter...volume does. Big, sustained volume because it shows MARKET MOVERS, SHAKERS and MAKERS are controlling the stock. Not retailers like us or even big-headed playas w/ very deep pockets...all while a solid stock is 'formed'.
Yes...the market is rigged. Learn it or don't play it. You will be their lunch, otherwise.
