Zarathustra Posts: 5961 Incept: 2009-04-29 Funkytown	Guys---what does it mean when volume rises dramatically during these sell offs? People moving to the exits? Algos? ---------- "And in knowing that you know nothing, that makes you the smartest of all." - Socrates 2012-03-06 09:56:58 Permalink

Tommyw Posts: 2618 Incept: 2009-04-20	My take is that volume shows the only times that actual human beings participate. Fundamentals keep anyone from getting long for more than a quick scalp. The low-volume melt up dynamic makes going short too risky. Everyone decides to go elsewhere (hello commodities, FX, and land...), except those who got into longs late last year and want the hell out at any solid signs of a top. ---------- “In every country and in every age the priest has been hostile to liberty; he is always in allegiance to the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection of his own.” - Thomas Jefferson 2012-03-06 10:24:37 Permalink

Level9 Posts: 2797 Incept: 2007-10-28 Circling the Drain	Volume confirms price. Volume rises on primary trend moves and falls on counter trend. When I say "trend" I'm not referring to a time period equivalent to the average American attention span. I'm referring to the long term trends. This volume pattern has been the case for nearly a decade. 2012-03-06 13:08:43 Permalink

Ponzi_unit Posts: 8112 Incept: 2007-09-05 Online	"Volume is an important indicator for many head and shoulder patterns. Usually the volume is higher on the left shoulder and with the formation of the head. Then volume tends to taper off as buying interest fades. However, there are times when volume on the right shoulder can rise significantly, especially on the moves down. When this takes place, it is a further indication the price of the stock is falling and you should take action to protect their capital." http://www.tradingonlinemarkets.com/Arti.... ---------- Taxpayers witnessed a crime and stayed around long enough to get charged with it. 2012-03-06 14:08:46 Permalink
