Can price predict it's own future?

    I call it a reaction.
    Some call it a prediction.



    Take for example a stock price going lower and lower and lower.
    Then it touches the support line.


    If the trader goes and takes a long position, then I call that
    trading based on anticipation / prediction.
    I don't recommend this way of trading.


    If the trader waits for some confirmation / pattern (eg after touching
    the support line, the price goes up and forms a higher low),
    then that trader is reacting to the market/chart.

    LOL/exactly;
    +put enough moving averages on a chart + may very well hit or get something.
    Some weather forecasters are 80% accurate/Farmer's Almanac.
    Some moving averages seem to ''get hit''+ have some profitable pattern$ around them.
    Its not really a coin flip; especially if one tosses the coin carefully:D:D

  10. I was thinking the same thing.

    I actually thought that trade would be somewhere around $250 per point.

    No judgement,just surpirised at final earnings.
