[13:33] {Threei} yeah, what's with this "no one trades until information comes out"
[13:33] {strider} Perhaps you should write them a letter and tell them how you pheel.
[13:33] {Threei} whole point of trading is "betting" on future information

[14:25] {Threei} not sure
[14:25] {strider} I see.
[14:25] {Threei} think of it in terms of players psychology
[14:25] {strider} reluctant to go back to the trough again.
[14:25] {dino} move times to hit resis weaker it gets, same w/support
[14:25] {Threei} what happens when resistance is established?
[14:25] {Threei} more and more players start betting on it

[14:26] {Threei} shorting or selling their longs
[14:26] {Threei} 2, 3, 4 tries,
[14:26] {Threei} we humans tend to think that which happened many times beofre will happen again
[14:26] {Threei} (doesn't go for aliens like nemo)
[14:27] {nemo} ?
[14:27] {Threei} so more and more players consider it established patter and bet on it
[14:27] {Threei} as any pattern, when gets overexploited, it wears itself out,
[14:28] {Threei} now, imagine break of this resistance at some point and what it does it players

[14:29] {Threei} lol, good one
[14:29] {Threei} longs that were discouraged by the strng resistance are rushing in now,
[14:29] {Threei} as break of it finally validates their desire
[14:30] {Threei} finally, tyhere are some that miss thewir chane to buy or cover,
[14:30] {Threei} and they wait for their chance to get in on pullback
[14:30] {Threei} these are those same that make this former resistance a new support
[14:31] {Threei} That's the theory of psychology of a breakout
[14:31] {dino} i prefer hammer to ice, chipping away
[14:31] {strider} :)
[14:31] {Threei} that's explanation why break actually happens
