The volume required for a stock to fall a certain percentage on a 1x1 scaled graph is approximated by the formula:
V2=V1*((M2-1)/(M1-1))*(M1-1-2ln(3/(M1+2)))/(M2-1-2ln(3/(M2+2)))
V1 is the volume on the left side of the chart
M1 is the slope of the left side
M2 is the slope of the right side of the selloff
V2= is the volume required for the selloff
the formula is derived by taking the integral of the energy level
the energy level is a function of price, slope, and volume for a time interval and the energy of the left hand side must equal that of the right.
This formula explains why a stock like CSCO or INTC doesn't fall more than a penny when someone instantly sells 1000 shares
