Low Volume A Possible Concern

Monday’s extremely low volume could be a short-term bearish sign. The 0.96% drop did not quite qualify for this 2008 study, but below is another past study that does exemplify the low-volume issue. Rather than index volume, it uses SPY volume. Either one would yield similar results in this case.




While not the most overwhelming edge we’ve ever seen, it does seem to strongly suggest that caution is warranted.
