    How can charts indicate nothing?
    Dont they indicate buying and selling and the volume attached to it?
    Then you say they mean nothing apart from indicating potential insider trading?? WT???

    If you dont understand something, or chose not to follow that train of thought why other then to antagonise traders would you post such a thing?

    Classic chart on BP after the deep water horizen incident in 2010. All the news was bad in may June, BP may go bank rupt etc. Yet look at the buying in June at the lows when it was at its darkest and recent capping attempts had failed. Most buying in the history of the company. And just 6 months later, an increase of 71% of one on the most solid performing blue chip shares historically paying 10 to 20% dividend,.
