Technical analysts are a bit like scavengers — and I don’t say that to demean the role at all 😊.

Here’s why the analogy fits: It’s the fundamental factors that drive price and create meaningful volume.
Technical analysts don’t concern themselves with who is behind the buying or selling — they simply interpret the price and volume that fundamentals have already produced.
In short, someone else does the hunting… and the technical analyst cleverly feeds off the results.
