The Volume Divergence (The Engine without Gasoline) The price of D is making increasingly higher highs (reaching those 48,736), but transaction volume is plummeting. The market is "rising without gasoline." Large institutional funds and investors are not buying at these high prices. This rebound since the PPI data is being driven by inertia, low-volume algorithms, and the capitulation of trapped sellers (like you). It is a hollow move. 2. The Rising Wedge is a bearish exhaustion pattern. The price gets "compressed" between two lines that converge upwards. Each new upward impulse is weaker than the previous one. Statistically, this pattern usually resolves with a violent downward breakout, because without real buying volume to support those levels, the price collapses under its own weight.
