In other words, a preponderance of factors make all financials trade together - so more often than not, the whole sector is either a buy or a sell; there isn't a whole lot of diversity in the financial sector's price action.

Technicals are a study of the market itself.

And research shows that skilled technical traders can bank gains as much as 90% of the time.
