In last night’s Subscriber Letter I examined whether the relatively low volume on Thursday’s bounce should be concerning. I examined it a few different ways. Below is one series of tests I showed.

Here the results have a solid bullish tilt.
These tests suggest that Thursday’s light volume should not be of any concern. In fact, it may be a market positive.
