You assertion that TA relies on past events is completely off mark. TA uses patterns and various other tools to determine mob behavior. The measurement of this behavior has nothing to do with the types of behavior, or what influenced it, or what specific events happened. TA is simply an objective read on the limits to which that behavior was exerted.

What you are describing is like saying that I can no longer measure that line with a ruler, because the line has been made with something not previously seen. Well, I don't care what made the line, I can still use the ruler to measure it.
