I did not say these things were random at all, my point is that nobody can explain them because of the complexity - when talking about aggregate movements over time. It's like trying to explain the causal chain of events from a buttefly flapping their wings to a hurricane happening across the world. Or that if one of the twins slept closer to the window and saw the outside they will be more creative.

Regarding the technical impact of institutional moves, that is real, if someone does a huge sell block, you can explain the drop by correlating it, but those are isolated events and it's much harder to predict what the market itself will do than to explain, ah, five minutes ago blackrock did their quarterly rebalancing of their ETFs and you can see it in the chart - that's not what these analysts from these articles usually do, they just come up with something that sounds plausible for clicks searching for a reason.
