We look at the bars of volume. If a bar is the highest or second-highest, or lowest or second-lowest, of the last X bars, it is often indicative of a change in short-term direction. Doesnt matter if a high volume or a low volume bar, or a run up in price or a run down in price. A high bar can signify the end of a run up or run down as can a low volume bar. For X I typically use 13, but X seems to be a function of variance in bar-to-bar volume. The more variance, the lower X should be and vice versa
Big range day on a high volume bar If it closes in the lower / higher 1/3 rd (?) of range, you can look to be a buyer / seller at a lower / higher price the next bar(s)
High volume reversal bars Bars with high volume that go opposite the prevailing short-term trend, on the first or second bar following a high / low. Sometimes these are outside days, sometimes not, but they are usually very reliable.
Bull Horns and Bear Horns Two high volume bars with an intermediate (or two) bar(s) signifying a short term top or bottom.
High volume breakouts Generally are Upside breakouts only. The first few bars differ from ordinary high volume days in that they are occurring on a chart breakout.
