Then the arguments for and against the random walk model will be presented. If asset prices are rational and based on all available data as the efficient market hypothesis proposes, then fluctuations in asset price are not random. But if the random walk hypothesis is valid than asset prices are not rational as the efficient market hypothesis proposes. The random walk theory is somewhat the opposite of technical analysis. According to the theory, stock prices move independently and evolve based on current fundamentals and other factors. Hence, they can not be predicted. It doesn't usually help traders as it
