The volume is there...you just have to know what you're looking for. Fib

Yeah, where is the beef? lol. They say techs, esp. large-caps techs, are the place to be because of the global economic dynamic. If that's the case then the economy should do just fine since that's a very large positive offset. Ben will not have to lower rates as he would have known this, too. I wonder what will the stock market do if there is no rate cut come Sept 18.

i have seen this countless of times, all sorts of indicators showing a sell, but the market ignores and chugs along. i have never understood fully why the indicators fail so blatantly in these situations, but i suspect that shorting has something to do with it. its hard to trade these markets as it appears that only a good feel/gut intuition can be used. in the long run, i still think we will see new highs before we see new lows, perhaps that should be enough for some.

Volatility has lots to do with indicators failing. Naturally, logical reasons for buying and selling will fail in highly-charged emotional /illogical situations.

:cry:



It is so much better without them and their gloom and doom. We gave them 4 weeks of fun. That is enough.

It's not the quantity of volume that counts, it's the quality of what's being traded.

i have never understood fully why the indicators fail so blatantly in these situations

Indicators are indicators...the math never changes.

What is important is the proper usage of any or all indicators and then using good judgment on when one should be given greater weight to the other based on the market's current rhythm.
