historic definition...

Technical conditions -- or a technical market. Technical conditions exist in a stock when the price is raised by manipulation by force of buying orders given and executed for the purpose ; or such conditions exist when the price is lowered by manipulation by force of selling orders given and executed for the purpose. Also, technical conditions exist in a stock when the price rises in consequence of enforced covering of short contracts (enforced buying by speculators who had sold stock which they did not possess) or such conditions exist when the price falls in consequence of enforced selling of long stock (stock which had been purchased with the intention of selling at an advanced figure.) A technical market exists when prices as a whole are raised or lowered, as the case may be, by manipulation ; also a technical market exists when an oversold condition compels covering of short contracts with a consequent rise in prices or when an overbought condition compels liquidation or sale of long stocks with a consequent fall in prices.
