Long Term Report based on Selling & Buying Volume (SBV) Indicators

October 17, 2005

The following report has been base on the SBV indicators analysis of 4-year period by using 15-day volume moving average (VMA) applied.

Chart 1 The S&P IV and SBV indicators.
15-day IV and SBV Moving Averages. 2001 - 2005 years.

Analysis of previous index reversal

Chart 1 clearly shows the previous long-term reversal point in July 2002 - February 2003. Associated with this reversal point volume surge could be divided into two volume surges: first in July-August 2002 and second in October 2003.

In correlation with the SBV indicator the first volume surge in July-August 2002 is clearly buying. Furthermore, the volume preceding this volume surge (April-June 2002) was buying as well (look at the duration of buying SBV indicator). The fact of accumulation of buying volume over three months period (April-June 2005) in conjunction with two months duration (July-August 2002) buying volume surge could be evaluated as the major long-term buying volume surge. By analyzing SBV indicator for this period the following statement could be accepted:

The long-term reversal point in 2002  followed after 5 months of negative SBV indicator with 100% maximum negative magnitude (July 30, 2002), and 60% average magnitude.

The second huge volume surge was buying as well (negative SBV indicator). Even it was a short lived in comparison with the buying volume accumulation in April-August 2002, the max negative magnitude of SBV indicator reached 89% on October 11, 2002. The accumulation of buying volume in October 2002 together with April-August 2002 buying volume caused the market to reverse it's trend of a long term.

The logical question could be raised about positive SBV indicators in November-December 2002, however from the chart 1 could be seen that volume in this period was much lover then the average volume in August 2002 and average volume in October 2002, furthermore it could be waived from the consideration.

Another important factor that should be taken into consideration that in period from July 2002 until June 2003 the S&P 500 index was below $1,000 point. This means that shares of the companies from the index basket was traded at very low price and the importance of any selling volume surges and positive SBV indicators should be reduced.

Analysis of the current market.

By analyzing the S&P 500 index for the last one and a half year only two volume surges may be noticed: in April 2005 and in September 2005.

By comparing these volume surges with reversal volume surges in 2002 clearly could be seen that the recent volume surges are much lover magnitude and duration.  By analyzing this volume surges in correlation with SBV indicator we can state the the volume surge in April 2005 was clearly buying and we can see an mid-term up-move market reaction in May-July 2005. The second volume surge in September 2005 was buying as well, however SBV indicator barely overcome 33% level in this case.

The next step in our analysis was correlating the high positive SBV indicators values with volume. By doing this this we came to conclusion that all of them barely overcome 60% level and were on relatively low volume for the last 1.5 years. Furthermore, they could not be taken into consideration as selling volume surges that could be compared to buying reversal volume surges in 2002.

Conclusion

By following the analysis of recent volume behavior in correlation with SBV indicator we came to conclusion that the current selling volume surges are smaller than the initial buying volume surges that reversed the prior trend in 2002 and established the current up-trend, furthermore the market will likely continue along its current up-trend;
