Is it really that far fetched to suspect that the/some “bots” are also acting on TA patterns, either those they identfiy themselves, or under instruction by their master who benefits from “creating the chart”..?
After listening to Cramer admit to all sorts of deceptive and illegal tactics, including blatant manipulation, I have little doubt that the big dogs do whatever they can get away with that puts the price closer to where they want it. Surely that includes creating specific chart patterns to trigger retail (and others) to respond..?

imo those that have the funds and resources to initiate a “pattern” will benefit from its ultimate formation….? AFAIK there are some brainy maths experts employed by the big dogs to program those bots.

interesting topic imo!
