It was inspired by this paper. I just completed the JHU Getting & Cleaning data coursea course and wanted a project to work on, but I also wanted to make something that was genuinely interesting that I could show people.

My data source ended up going ghost ( http://stats.grok.se) so not everything is updated, and am going to start using Wikipedia's API to scrape for views. With technical analysis being as popular as it is in finance, I just thought it would be an interesting visualization given the accompanying literature.
