Using Volume Spikes in Intraday Trading. $SLV $FXE $BBBY $CL $study

-If you are looking for a change in the intraday trend of an asset, volume spikes can be very helpful. I blogged in the recent past about an intraday spike in $BBBY and $CL . I blogged about both wondering if a turn would happen after I saw what seemed like a spike and in both cases the theory was correct...both stocks turned direction with the volume spike coinciding with the highs for the day.

 - http://jpotrading.blogspot.com/2011/04/cl-8500-high-for-day.html

-Yesterday silver was collapsing and coincidentally the dollar was very strong. People were wondering if there was a cause and effect and if so in what direction; so I watched $FXE while wondering when/if $SLV would turn.



-The 11.00 volume bar in $FXE shows a spike in volume and the dollar stops stregthening.
-The 11.10 volume bar makes a huge volume spike (turns out biggest of the day).

This gave me confidence to make a long scalp in silver...the thought of something more substantial occured to me but $FXE and $SLV were just not bouncing with the energy needed.

$CL 85.00 High for the day?

CL up over 2% today with upgrades after results yesterday. Yesterday was up around 3% . DOes that volume bar where it reaches 85.00 indicate a near term top? Shortred at 84.80.

$WTW Shorting it.

-$WTW has been on a tear since last posting results. Yesterday  there was a nice red candle on the daily chart showing  the largest daily loss since last posting results; and this on a day the market was reaching new highs.

-Today it has recoverd most of the loss, but I am betting its a dead cat bounce and shorted at 77.90 close to the opening level of yesterday´s red candle.
