Agree, but was keen to see if there were any hints in the charts leading into the coming weeks that indicated what the "astute investors" think they know??????

If you look at it as blocks between announcements, the last month is of interest given we have had a lean period for information but have "imminent" information upon us. That would lead astute investors to be doing their trading in such a way as to maximise what they suspect is coming. Charts in this macro period would give an insight into their thoughts maybe? Maybe not, I am no expert.
