Random walk theory

The efficient market hypothesis states that the historical trend of a stock or market cannot be relied upon to forecast its future trend. This theory suggests that all available information about a stock or market is already reflected in its current price, making it impossible to consistently outperform the market through analysis of past trends. In simpler terms, it implies that attempts at timing the market are futile.
