Which Direction is Volume Trending?
Volume represents the number of Shares traded during a defined timeframe. Analyzing the direction of Volume can facilitate a determination as to whether a Price Trend is gaining or losing momentum.

What are the Cognitive Psychological Bias of the Herd Mentality That is Likely to Determine Market Behavior?
Identify the substantive potential positive Catalyst events that can determine the Market Behavior of the Herd Mentality, and the Market Sentiment toward a Stock, a Stock Sector, or a Stock Index to Uptrend. Conversely, identify the substantive negative Catalyst events that will determine the Market Behavior of the Herd Mentality, and the Market Sentiment toward a a Stock, a Stock Sector, or a Stock Index to Downtrend. It is important to be aware of what positive or negative Catalyst events may affect a specific stock; or a stock sector; or a stock Index insofar as determining the Cognitive Psychological Bias of the Herd Mentality.
Why Price Trend Direction Matters:
Use in conjunction with Price Trend Strength and Price Trend Momentum to determine whether to Sell a Stock Position at the commencement of a Trend Reversal.
Why Price Trend Strength Matters:
If Price Trend Strength is increasing, the Stock is increasing in Momentum in its current direction, supported by rising trading Volume and strong Market Sentiment. If Price Trend is decreasing in Strength, the Stock is losing Momentum, signaling a potential Trend Reversal or Consolidation phase.
Why Price Momentum Matters:
If Price Momentum is increasing, the Price is accelerating and will continue in its current direction, supported by rising trading Volume and strong Market Sentiment. If Price Momentum is decreasing, the Price Trend is weakening, signaling diminishing investor conviction and a potential Price Reversal or Consolidation.
Why the Direction of Volume Matters:
The Direction of Volume is used to confirm a Price Trend, or to signal a potential Price Reversal; or a Consolidation Phase. Identify a Price Breakout or a False Signal.
Why Support Level Matters:
When Price nears Support Level in a Downtrend, a Price Reversal to an Uptrend is typical. Alternately, when Price declines below a Support level, this is commonly a signal (or Breakout) of a further Price decline.
Why Resistance Level Matters:
When Price nears a Resistance Level in an Uptrend, a Price Reversal to a Downtrend is typical, and indicates a potential Exit,(Sell), Point. Alternately, if Price increases above a Resistance Level, this is commonly a signal, (or. Breakout), of a continuing Price Uptrend.
Why a Continuation Pattern Matters:
A Continuation Pattern typically indicates the previous Price Trend is likely to continue after a Consolidation phase. A Continuation Pattern typically indicates a Breakout and Entry Point. A Continuation Pattern typically provides a Price target on the Buy Side and the Sell Side of the Trade based on the formation of the Continuation Pattern.
Why a Reversal Pattern Matters:
A Reversal Pattern typically indicates the previous Price Trend is likely to reverse after a Consolidation phase. A Reversal Pattern typically signals a change of a Price Trend before the change occurs. A Reversal Pattern typically signals an Exit Point if holding a stock Long; or a Breakout and Entry Point to Short a Stock. A Reversal Pattern facilitates Risk Management by indicating a Stop-Loss Level near a reversal point.
Why Understanding the Cognitive Psychological Bias of the Herd Mentality That is Likely to Determine Market Behavior Matters:
A substantive positive Catalyst event will cause a Stock, a Stock Sector, or a Stock Index to Uptrend. Conversely, a negative Catalyst event will cause a Stock, a Stock Sector, or a Stock Index to Downtrend. Examples of Catalyst events include: Quarterly Financial Earnings Report releases which beats or misses Revenue Estimates and Earning-Per-Share (EPS) Estimates, and which contain either positive or negative Guidance; Analyst Upgrades and Downgrades; Economic Data Releases; changes in Economic Trade Policy; Product Innovations; Aquisitions & mergers; Market Share Growth; Regulatory Approvals and Crackdowns; Geopolitical Events.
