Originally posted by northernladuk View PostAnd to some extent I can understand all that but Scoots posts charts about Gold, Bitcoin, Shares. Each as a very different animal, one is a fundamental base of monetary systems (arguable I know but you get my drift), the other doesn't even exist and the last is tied to how a business performs and market conditions.
I just cannot get how the same techniques can possibly work across all three with so many different factors that drive highs and lows. It doesn't make sense so unfortunately easy for people like me to just dismiss it as a complete sham. I could understand if it worked for bitcoin as it doesn't exist so you can use charts to predict how people react to previous movements as there are no other tangible factors affecting the price. Maybe so for business to an extent due to people selling high, buying low with the actual business performance and market conditions only being a factors but gold is such a slow burner and affected by much bigger things how can standard technical analysis work?
.
It matters not what the chart is charting, futures, gold, the price of fishcakes in Hong Kong. The technicals will remain true. The charts are only chart human behaviour.
For your info, 'Spot Gold' doesn't exist either, mostly. Yet people buy thinking they own gold. Spot gold is 4x oversold than there is the physical stuff to replace it.
