On May 11, 2006 we noted a high-magnitude buying volume
surge to the index downside. The (1/10) PVO was 9.4%, which
indicates that the volume seen on this day exceeded the average volume
over the previous 10 trading days by 9.4%.
On the same day the
NASDAQ 100 advance/decline (A/D) issues and A/D volume ratios reached extremely
bearish levels of 0.12 and 0.05, respectively. Last time the NASDAQ 100
index reached similarly critically low sentiment readings on January 20, 2006.

On May 12, 2006 we read a high-magnitude buying volume
surge to the index downside. The (1/10) PVO was 9.3%, which
indicates that the volume seen on this day exceeded the average volume
over the previous 10 trading days by 9.3%.
On the same day the
NASDAQ 100 advance/decline (A/D) issues and A/D volume ratios reached strongly
bearish levels of 0.18 and 0.20, respectively.

On May 17, 2006, high-magnitude buying surges
were noted in all market sectors. The
NASDAQ 100 (1/10) PVO was 17.6%,
indicating that the volume seen on this day exceeded the average volume over the
previous 10 trading days by 17.6%. The (1/10) PVO for S&P 500 was 19.1%, for the
Dow Jones Industrial it was - 26.5%, for the Dow Jones Transport - 24.2%, for
the NYSE - 18%, and for the AMEX - 39.6%.
On the same day, the NASDAQ 100 Advance/Decline
(A/D) issues and A/D volume ratios reached extremely bearish levels of 0.10
and 0.08, respectively. A similar situation was also found in other market
sectors. By the end of the session, the Advance/Decline issues ratio for the
S&P
500 was 0.09, for the Dow Jones Industrial - 0.03, for the Dow Jones Transport -
0.06, for the NYSE - 0.21, and for the AMEX - 0.21%.
Similarly negative sentiment readings
accompanied by large volume surges were last seen in April 2005.
During an index move down, the appearance of
significant volume surges means that a large number of shares are being
transferred from one group of market participants to another; it is at this
point that the market may become "oversold".
