However, those who see technical analysis as a self-fulfilling prophecy argue that these indicators are "right" only because extremely large numbers of people base trading decisions on these same indicators, thereby using the same information to take their positions, and, in turn, pushing the price in the predicted direction.

Självuppfyllande profetia
Definition from
Susning.nu, Wiktionary:
En självuppfyllande profetia är en förutsägelse om framtiden som kommer att gå i uppfyllelse just på grund av själva existensen av förutsägelsen. <br />Exempel: <br />En inflytelserik person säger att "Nästa år kommer arbetslösheten att stiga". Eftersom folket då tror att det blir så, börjar de snålspara och förbereda sig på sämre tider. Eftersom folket slutar konsumera, leder detta till att en mindre mängd varor och tjänster förbrukas, vilket i sin tur gör att arbetslösheten stiger.
Example sentences:
Liljegren (2000) påpekar att omgivningens förväntningar på barnets beteende kan leda till en självuppfyllande profetia. (Examensarbete, Lärarutbildningen )
