Technical analysis of stocks (candles, cups and handles, etc) developed in Japanese rice markets in the 1600s..... I was surprised to see a video saying it wasn't really adopted in the US until a few decades ago. Is this accurate? Why'd it take so long? How were stocks analysed prior to that?

Aggh... I made a historical error in a question to /r/askhistorians... I am ashamed.

Candlestick charts were invented in Japan in the 18thC, not the 17th.
