Also... Falling volume is how bear markets are made. To look for tops, you want to see heavy volume on green days, not red days. Bigger questions... what is the basis used for determining "bottom", "falling", "heavy", and "top"? do the above rules apply to all time frames?
Nope. The charts and data show you're completely wrong. But if you're more interested in "being right" than reality, have at it.
The charts and data are correct, I think what you meant to say was your interpretation of the charts and data is completely wrong. But I'm going to let you make your case. When you step into something be better prepared next time.
No, I'm not wasting time debating with someone who's been on here for years and hasn't noticed the most basic of chart patterns. Do the work yourself. Look at every recovery from, say 5% or greater corrections in the last 20 years. Look at bullish markets from 2003-2007 and 2009 to the present and notice how often the indexes climb higher on low volume...and how the volume is strongest on selloffs. There have even been many discussions here about it (staring in the 2003-20007 period).
That would be the COVID crash. A true bear market (S&P down over 30%) that went back to all-time highs in under 6 months IIRC. Money printing works...at least until it doesn't.
The Fed said no more rate hines after 3 hikes. No more bear market in that case - that is the question.
