Implications of a 90% Up Volume Day

By on Friday, March 5th, 2010 at 2:47 pm

Volume associated with advancing issues currently accounts for 89% of total NYSE volume, putting us on watch for a 90% up volume session. An interesting point regarding 90%+ up volume days is that there’s invariably a ‘higher high’ the following session. Here are each of the last thirty occurrences…

>90% Up Volume on the NYSE
02/16/10… S&P futures higher high next session
11/09/09… S&P futures higher high next session

08/31/07… S&P futures higher high next session
08/29/07… S&P futures higher high next session
08/17/07… No higher high next session

Note that in 27 out of the last 30 cases, or 90% of the time, S&P futures posted a higher high the next day. That’s significantly greater than the 52% random odds for a higher high one day later in the same time frame, indicating 90%+ up volume days do generate at least some intraday follow-through. Keep an eye on where this statistic is set to close via our intraday snapshot.
