Where has the volume gone ?

Quote from toolazy:

it is type of market where one just has to buy. There is no signals, if one uses TA.

And these things can take painfully long to break.

and usually there is climax run :D

to suck all the bystanders complaining now.

they keep holding the bag.

there is no substitute for experience. I was once bystander too :(

Agree. These are the right explanations (in my opinion) to this kind of bull market. It's rigged and that's it, maneuvers have always been there (maybe now they are somewhat different as they're guided by central banks).
It's funny to see how people try and justify this movement with "rational" ideas, fundamentals, etc., which miserably fall as soon as you start reasoning.
 
Maybe a bit off-topic, but... look at the chart: it shows unemployment from may 2011 to now.
As you can see, it's decreasing at a 0.75%/year pace even now that FED has started QE3, and after 5 years of massive liquidity injection.
This means that:
1) at this pace, QE3 will go on at least 2 more years with at least its current size
2) to maintain the same pace, an increase in liquidity injection was required.That makes me think that us economy itself hasn't got the strength to recover.

Now I'd like to see a decent reasoning showing that this bull market is justified by the economy.

Agree again. I'd never trade basing on information provided by media and institutions.
I have a view but try to not let it influence my trading.
 
A 2% drop in unemployment does not justify this move, a 20% drop would have.
As I said, this is like one of the players is playing with monopoly money and the rest aren't - whatever happens he won't lose. In my 10 years of following the markets I've never seen anything like it.

There's no such thing as normal dynamics of the market.

Sure there is. Flash crashes are not normal. If they become very frequent, then that is going to be the new normal. But just because the market is what it is that doesn't mean there isn't a normal characteristic to its behaviour...

Just so you know....
 
Quote from rfriend73:

I don't trade futures or forex, has their volume decreased in a similar pattern to equities ?
More...

Yes, the forex market is like watching a turtle with a handicap cross the street.
