Investopedia explains 'Technically Weak Market'

Technical analysts are concerned only with the price movements of securities. Unlike fundamental analysts, they do not care about the characteristics of the company that has issued the security. Technical analysts follow trends in a security's supply and demand, as shown on price charts, to choose the most profitable times to buy and sell.
