"Aha" - What Reverses Markets

I saw an interview with Ed Seykota recently, and here is one small paragraph I found interesting:

Are price moves random? Is there any basis for trends? What makes prices move?

I feel the "aha!" process lies at the heart of price change . For instance, consider the series: OTTFFSSE. What is the next letter? This puzzle creates tension — until you see the first letters of the ordinal numbers — one, two. "Aha!" you say. A lot happens during an "aha." The puzzle dies and the tension dissipates.

A societal "aha!" drives price. Read the newspapers and the news magazines during a major move. At first, no one gets why the move is happening. There's a lot of confusion. Part of the move's way up, some people get it. At the end, everybody gets it. The tension is resolved and the move ends.
