There is a pattern in a lot of the ETFs and individual stocks that strongly suggests institutional accumulation us going on. EEM, the ETF based on stocks in emerging markets, is one good example.
Periodically spaced days on well-above-average volume, often on opening gap-ups, is most likely coming not from individual investors and traders reacting to Jim Cramer’s latest recommendations, but from institutions spacing out their purchases.
As long as the overall market doesn’t suddenly change in character, I expect EEM will soon break upwards again and I expect it will be on above-average volume.
A consumer products company I highlighted a few days ago had a similar pattern – periodic jumps in the stock accompanied by volume spikes:
Two days later it was up 2.4% from another surge in buying.
The price chart and volume patterns on the above two stocks match other stocks in the past that followed through with lengthy moves.
Today’s full Seasonal Forecaster newsletter covers trades on earnings announcements that can also work well in volatile market environments.
