Nice post & charts; Yea I've also noticed the low volume rallies on the indexes (i was actually suprised there werent more ET threads about it). But there was an Asian holiday a few days ago, plus closed Friday and the long weekend (maybe that had something to do with it)?
What i cant understand is the price action we've had in LEH (and some of the other ibanks & brokers this past week).....LEH drops 50% on 200M shares....then 2 days later it recoups ALL those loses and actually has a postive week. I cant understand how people can just overlook that massive drop on massive volume just a day later?
Investor sentiment was a complete bloodbath on Sunday/Monday....then its the total opposite ( complete Euphoria) a day later? Now every guru/analyst/newspaper is marking a low in. That sentiment shift and market action doesnt seem healthy.
I just can not believe that this whole banking crisis & market downtrend is going to get resolved after 1 day. Big fundamental shifts like this usually takes a few quarters or even years to sort out.
