I still don't understand what you mean by pure weak form. What I know is that the information sets that are relevant in weak form is only the past price,
while the technical analysis is also trying to using past prices only to exploit abnormal return. If weak form efficiency holds, then the current price reflects all the information contained in past prices, thus technical analysis is useless.
If the only information is price, then there is no announcement date.
I think you probably misundertaood technical analysis, what you mean by technical analysis is to use other information other than past prices to exploit the abnormal return.
