Today QLD volume was approximately 3 times the volume at the August low. Does that signify anything in particular? I know I've read several posts that a retest of a low should occur on higher volume in order to be valid. Comments appreciated. Thanks......

Quality of volume to the downside, volume spike lows are almost always tested, such as the one in August. It is an overt sign of weakness... Today's low will be tested.

But, it's an ETF (derivative and thus untrustworthy), so I'd look at the cash instead. Mark

QLD is becoming much more popular. Look at the volume in the interval between the lows. So you really can't compare volume on subsequent lows. This is in contrast to the more stable (volume0wise) Q's and spyders -- both exhibiting retests on LOWER volume.

Similar pattern of volume on Nasdaq... Crescendo of volume at each successive low.

I think that the similarity is coincidental. ETF's are new and can be trendy (as in hip vs. TA). I'd not rely upon them.
