comportement des prix dans le passé

the author didn't say "historical trading data" or "past price fluctuation", which would refer to just a collection of numbers.
the author used "behaviour", which would normally apply to a living thing, the purpose being to compare prices to living things that follow patterns when reacting to changes in their "environment" - the market.
This phrase is not about a collection of numbers (past trading figures), but about being able to interpret them. (As it is said right at the beginning, BTW)
A good hunter knows the behaviour of its pray, a good trader know how the price are going to react to changes.
A mere series of GPS reading of the position of a racing car is not the same as the description of the tactics used by the winning driver.
the simplest example of "price behaviour": "when offered quantity goes up, the price goes down". Obviously, a good trader has to recognise much more complex "behaviours".
