"Technical Analysis: Legit Strategy or Just Modern-Day Astrology for Traders?"

I've been trading for a while, and I can’t help but question if technical analysis is really the holy grail some claim it to be or just a glorified guessing game. There was one time I made a 40% profit in just a week by following a classic head-and-shoulders pattern on a stock. It felt like magic! But then, on another trade, I trusted a bullish flag formation and ended up losing half of my investment when the market went the opposite way. What’s your take? Are these patterns worth trusting, or is it all just confirmation bias? Share your wins, losses, and thoughts!"
