Today's volume is in many etfs about 60% of the three month average. Check a few of your favorites. (I suspect a certain bank has been playing in the market again.) Beware sweeping, low volume, rallys at or near a Phi Mate turn date like starting today. :sweatingbullets: Best, Islander.

It is witchcraft, but it often works. The Fib count from the last significant rise or fall in the market. DR. HcHugh of EW fame has his own methods, but they are close enough to mine to comfort me a little. I think you can get a free ride on his Technicals Web sight, if you can take his lengthy repetitive expositions. Islander. Not me, I play every day and I use volume, not worship it. Regards, Islander. Ord sells well and his performance claims are modest, virtue not practiced by a few of our comrades. ISlander.

The volume should've been about 90% of the 20 day average for today's levels to support the break out, I guess the operators will pile on when it pulls back, it is OK... The traders push the prices, the investors push the volume...
