Volume patterns to watch

Trading volume has enormous importance as a technical indicator. These are the patterns to watch.

Rising volume and the market fails to rise and starts trading in a narrow range means distribution. The strong hands are selling stocks to the latecomers. This is a sign of an incipient top.

Rising volume and rising stock prices represent a favorable pattern for the market. Beware, however, of declining volume after such a prolonged event.

Where do we stand now? Volume is very low.
