I believe the mutual funds, along with hedge funds, pension funds, etc., make up the "big guys" whose purchases/sales tracks are revealed in the technical indicators for individual stocks.

Unless their is a reason for these other institutions to be buying into/out of specific mutual funds, I don't think the tools will work for fund prices. Their prices should fluctuate based on the value of their holdings and the addition of new money (or fund redemptions) by the fund investors.
