A Treasury of Wall Street Wisdom
By Harry D. Schultz and Samson Coslow
Palisades Park, NJ: Investors’ Press
1966
Pg. ?:
Volume “follows the trend”; i.e., it increases on rallies and decreases on reactions in an over-all up trend, and vice-versa. But use this rule judiciously ; do not place too much dependence on the showing of a few days, and bear in mind that even in a Bear Market (except during Panic Moves), there is always a slight tendency for activity to pick up on rises.

US equity trading volume…As the attached chart shows, it is bad and getting worse.  The last time that volume was good was May 7, when the TRAN Index topped and the divergence with the INDU began that has Dow Theorists bearish.  An old saying has it that “Volume follows the trend” and for the time being,  both are down.

If the old adage that ‘volume follows trend’ has any merit, then this market is unlikely to hold up much longer.
