== The introduction to this article is clearly negatively biased ==
This article is clearly biased. The introduction has a single sentence concerning what technical analysis is actually about, and then three sentences concerning objecting and competing methods. Furthermore, these other methods are presented as being more factual or reliable, despite the fact that the efficient-market hypothesis and active management theory are both unproven. I don't understand why there is such a concerted push to give this article a negative slant considering that trading would essentially be impossible without technical analysis, and it influences every single market considering that most price-action these days is driven by bots which act almost entirely upon TA signals. High-frequency trading, which makes the majority of trading volume in the US stock market and certainly in the crypto market, is entirely driven by TA.
The claim that TA is 'pseudoscience' is written by someone who lost a large amount of money in the dot-com bubble and according to this talk page has been up for, what, a decade now, and nobody is allowed to alter or remove it? Or even give it some context, or perhaps a differing perspective? In the introduction for the topic!? The defining aspect anyone who reads this article will be the implication that this is pseudoscience and therefore nonsense, and this all hangs upon one book written by somebody who is clearly going to be personally biased against the concept of trading itself.
I have tried to give that quote some further context considering that studies done on TA have been done in the abstract and do not actually reflect applied circumstances but it has been reverted twice. TA in the real world is not done in isolation, as the studies are conducted, but TA signals are used in conjunction with one another to construct a heuristic understanding of -price action-, which traders, and bots, then act upon if the risk to reward ratio is favourable. You cannot gain an accurate understanding of TA by running statistical analyses on individual signals without any context for how entities act upon those signals and then conclude that the method is nonsense. This article's introduction, the thing most people will read when looking up TA for the first time, is terribly biased and needs to be reconsidered. It should be rewritten with an emphasis on what TA actually is and how it is applied in markets rather than a emphasis on how other theories disagree with it.
