Low volume bounce

Select stocks witnessed buy interest today. But overall volume was low. Some stocks like ROCM, TZOO, SYX, JOSB, VIP, PERY, FRPT, OFI, SNDA, PSYS, BWLD, CMG, NCMI, and GES had high volume breakouts. Some of these have more gains ahead. Some of them had recent good earnings and were not dented by the correction.

After a correction stocks which were not affected by it spring back in to action. Some of these stocks are early in their price and earnings appreciation cycle and they will keep going up, or get in to consolidation if down move in overall market continues.

Another set of stocks which will start breaking out in few weeks would be, stocks likely to have good earnings. They will run in anticipation of good earnings. Like post earnings announcement drift PEAD, there is pre earnings drift. To play it you need to track analysts earning estimates. If analyst start taking earnings estimates up, the stock is likely to go up.

It is still too early to expect a sustained tradable counter trend rally.
