Good points wyndrum, I agree, it's about the level of news as well. My point was, AVCT sp is heavily influenced by news, but more defensive or value shares can be analysed better with technicals.
Good point about GDR, which price is "right"? my answer, the price right now! I totally agree the market often (usually) overreacts. I used to try and spread bet Forex, the chart following an unexpected NFP number, for example, would oscillate wildly, usually, it would seem for the oscillations to lessen and focus, before a new trend would start, up down or sideways.
I agree with you that chart analysis can tell you in theory if the market (peoples reactions) have a price "right". The point I was trying to make was indicators like RSI, MA etc, seem to me to work better on longer timescales, and big sp changing news like AVCT gets (good or bad, I'm sure you remember the vaccine news drop) blows through the indicators. If one shortens the timeframe, it becomes more noisy and less readable. Still, I'm no expert, as my losses Forex trading shows!
BTW, it's nice to be able to have a discussion without the usual internet rudeness on some forums. I think we are both equally right, or wrong! I probably mistrust charting because I got burned trying to use it. Fundamental and technical are both useful, probably the trick is to not rely to heavily on one or the other, Ying and Yang and all that.
