Exactly what I tried to post lastnight. Fridays surge of 400 points was good but mostly selling pressure. How does this happen?? Manipulation?? hmmmmmmmmmm, Algos? hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ALL THE ABOVE......IMHO
The first one, the Volume Intensity Model (VIM), measures short-term accumulation (up volume or buying) vs. distribution (down volume or selling). According to BofA, VIM remains negative across the board since distribution crossed above accumulation in mid-Nov. Accumulation remains low and has reflected a “buyers’ strike”.
