Volume Analysis | Flash Market Update – 8.15.22
CHIEF TECHNICAL ANALYST, BUFF DORMEIER, CMTⓇ
We are closing in on ground zero in meeting critical resistance of the broad market. Closing last week @ 4280, S&P 500 resistance presently resides @ approximately 4300, rising approximately 7 points per week.
Additionally, Capital Weighted Volume is also on the cusp of breaking resistance. Should capital weighted volume turn positive, it would be a positive sign that the bull market is indeed for real.
Although price and volume are significantly improving, capital flows as well as market breadth are both lagging the price advance. These leading indicators still suggest that the summer rally is just that, a counter trend rally within a bear market.
Overall, price and volume are at crucial inflection points. Their outcomes, whether to breakthrough or retrace, could be viewed as telling for the current health and future direction of the markets both near and intermediate term.
Grace and peace be to you my friends,
Buff Dormeier, CMT®
