As a trader, I often encounter the criticism that technical analysis is ineffective because charts only display past data and cannot predict the future. I acknowledge that no one can predict market movements with absolute certainty, and it is true that charts reflect historical information. However, I believe that analyzing past price action provides valuable insights that inform our trading decisions.

For instance, if a stock consistently bounces off a particular support level, it is logical to consider that level as a potential entry point. While this does not guarantee future performance, it offers a rational basis for our strategies.
