You call it chop. TVO calls it consolidation. – TVO MB 3-05
Tuesday’s session was choppy and also what many folks would call unproductive, as far as price. Volume, on the other hand (which always has something up its sleeve), went mostly for the bears, as the drop at the open nearly brought our Heat Gauge into the SWELTERING range.
Whether the huge spike of down volume was the total extent of the damage or a warning shot of more to come, remains to be seen.
TVO has resumed its downward direction, but we’re just above the 0 to +3.0 “healthy market” range. As long as we remain in that range (which now just happens to coincide with staying above the 200 day MA), it’s risk-on for the bulls.
In the meantime, expect some more chop, or as it’s known in more technical terms: consolidation… which we all know is indeed quite productive in more ways than one. -MD
