As I read it, it's a case between Moving Averages (as in, analysing the daily ups & downs in a chart and smoothing the data to form a trend following indicator), and Technical Indicators (as in trying to predict the future price levels by looking at past patterns, volumes etc)
But it still gives conflicting indications. But normally, after I buy something based on anything, the price always starts to drop... I'll go buy a few shares on EE, let's see if AXL falls today
