Broker...nothing personal but I have zero faith in charting. I am happy for others to but if charting were already as putting half a dozen forumla s together to tell you when to buy sell when resistance or support is then algo trading software wouldn't cost millions. Every time resistance is resistance there will be multiple times when resistance is breezed past.
Charting can't tell you when a distressed seller needs to sell because they ve run out of money, or when some body with a large t20 can't afford it anymore...it can't tell you how many people are buying as a long term investor or a short term trading.
It can only look at past information to predict the future, the last often isn't a good indicAtor of the future.
That doesn't mean that a share can't be overbrought or levels of resistance...but these can be made redundant with a single event which makes them rather meaningless..
I've had this discussion many many times with many people. You'd be surprised in an investment bank how often they will spend millions on models et c only for the analyst to go to the credit committee. Or the trader and they are completely ignored.
're yesterday the resistance was the sell on news folk, nothing wrong with that if you have the volume, but they wou!d have sold at 24p 27p or 30p where ever the price happened to be.
Just my view I know lots of folk do chart and good luck to them.
