>Crowd behaviour is what draws the charts
>Sir, it was quiet refreshing to see an article on behavioural finance. Behavioural Finance essentially is the academic answer to technical analysis. It attemps to formalise behaviours based on statistics and observations of human behaviour. Technical analysis does the same thing via its chart patterns and indicators. Recall that the writings of Dow and Elliott all based their pattern analysis on how crowds reacted to price, volume and news.
>While some technical analysts would disagree, that sentiment is directly part of our field, it is clear that sentiment, crowd behaviour, as well as the underlying fundamentals, is what draws the charts, that both technical analysts behaviour-finance based analysts attempt to interpret. To me, technical analysis is the tool and behavioural finance is the theory. Both firmly reject the already and rightfully much maligned random walk theory.
