Thank you and enjoy the video. What's up, guys? It's Harry Haas here. And today I'm going to be doing a kind of special video on volume analysis tips and tricks. This is probably the most requested topic that I've got in the last month or so. So I just kind of went ahead and did it. I know that Joe has a video on this. Austin also has a webinar on this type of stuff. So you can go ahead and check their videos out as well if you have any more questions after this one. And as always, you can always message me in chat. I'm not a financial advisor. This is not investment advice, even if it seems like it purely for educational entertainment purposes. So without further ado, let's get into this video. So basically for this video, I kind of broke it up into different types of volume that I look for, different types of setups, different types of plays that I look for, and how you can kind of use volume as a clue. And I think the main thing that I want you to take away out of this video is that none of this stuff is the holy grail. It's all kind of used as an indicator in conjunction with the lines and conjunction with the type of float in conjunction with how the stock is trading, the setup. So it's just kind of a mixture of psychology, the setup where people are trapped, kind of stuff like that. So for fader volume, it's kind of the stock is feeling heavy. Every pop, you know, they're selling it to every pop. It's making new lows. It's doing big but decreasing volume. We're getting that kind of weak feeling. We get a slam candle usually under deathline. Longs are trapped on the stock. So I've already kind of made a video on the faders that I like to avoid why I avoid them. But I just thought that I would kind of just include this. So I do have this in the video. You can check out my other video as well. So this one, MEIP, this is one from this week where we had the stock pop and just immediately we got this kind of this fade. It ended up testing three again. That three line was kind of like a major story throughout the the morning. And we ended up getting this fade. And a little bit of kind of things you can take out of this is that we do this. We do get this kind of initial pop. Obviously everyone who bought here and didn't sell into these pops is stuck. And we kind of got this fade and so on. But you can also notice from the volume down below how we are doing big volume, but the volume is consistently fading. And the volume is really reflecting the price action here. And this kind of 2.8 line was really key. And after it broke the kind of death line, yes, we did get a pop above it. But that pretty much tells me that the stock is weak. So this is not something that I'd really want to be trying to play, you know, down here or over here. Because we noticed that consistently throughout the day, although we do get a little bit of kind of stuff move action into three. We do, for the most part, just kind of get a fade. And so basically what you can take out of this is that just we have, we have decreasing volume. We have fading volume. And the times where we are getting a lot of kind of volume, we're getting a stuff move and it's going back to normal. So that's just some things I wanted to take out of this one. This one as well. This one's kind of a little bit of a true kind of fader volume where we get that push and then just we get this immediate fade all day. You notice the volume is decreasing and the volume decrease is also reflected in the price. And I think that's very important is that this type of decreasing volume is the price is really reflecting the volume. And the volume and price are going hand in hand and stuff like this. And that's kind of what I look for. If the stock is fading, you know, and I see this type of price action, I probably won't touch it and I'll be looking for another hot chick, another hot play, something else, rather than trying to be in stocks that are fading. But I'm just kind of using this as an indicator. So if you were trying to get long at seven, let's say, and hoping for about maybe to eight or 7.5, you'd say to yourself, well, by the time I reach seven, I'm noticing that the volume is fading and so is the price. So maybe I want to either use smaller size or be cautious. And that's just something that I wanted to point out. This one, CAPR, another one. I already have videos on all this type of stocks to avoid and stuff like that. So this should be no surprise that this is a stock that I'm kind of looking to avoid. We noticed that, you know, dried up volume, a liquid and the stock is also fading, not much going on here. I will get into kind of the zombie volume that I look for later. But I mean, basically we get this stock that pops and just kind of falls. And by the time we get, you know, down here, everyone who bought up here is now trapped. We're seeing that the price is reflected in the volume, volume reflected in the price and we're just getting this fade. So this is probably what the video is going to be more focused on is the consolidation squeeze volume. And this is basically when a stock is kind of consolidating near its pre-market support, where it should have broken down, where the volume is drying up, but it's still holding. It's an easy way to kind of trap shorts because what people are thinking is that is stuff like this, where, wow, it's lower volume. So that means if we're not getting low volume, that the price has to drop. If there's no volume, then that means the price has to drop and people start to get comfortable in these ranges long or short because it's giving you and it's allowing you more times to make decisions. Whereas if it's a very fast moving stock, you have a lot less time to make decisions and people are more emotional, kind of the more volume that is traded. So basically it's just they kind of drop the volume off. So people are thinking, you know, it must drop. The stock is usually trading in a smaller range or a tighter spread. And you know, the stocks usually have a fast crack so it doesn't give shorts a great opportunity to get in at a good average. And they usually have a fast crack, but they're not really under the death line yet. They need to be still alive enough to be tradable. I think this is a very kind of discretionary decision, but they need to be still alive enough to be tradable. And what you kind of need to be thinking is where are the shorts feeling safe? Where are the shorts afraid? Where are the majority of short sellers short? You need to be asking yourself this question as a long trader. It's really important that you're always kind of thinking, where's the other side going to be? You know, those are questions that I'm always asking in my head. Are long strapped or short strapped? Is it under death line? I'm asking myself all these questions. So when they do kind of dry the volume up, it gives them a little bit of a chance to manipulate because what they do basically, what I've found is that, you know, they'll kind of cut the volume off a little bit. People are expecting it to drop and then we kind of get that boom, like it's surprise and we end up getting that squeeze. So it kind of gives you an opportunity to just kind of think about it. So this one, PSTI, these are all kind of recent ones that I've seen. Where basically the difference between this stuff and the fader volume and the fader patterns, which I'll get into as well, is that after this slam, there are a lot of short sellers that are thinking, well, after this slam, it has to be done. But it gives longs kind of a good opportunity and a good chance to be able to get long and kind of capture a move like this. And the clues that you can kind of use in a stock like this along with the volume is that we kind of price and volume go hand in hand. So we're going to be trying to use the volume and we're going to be trying to use the price together. So what we see here is that obviously we get this low after this kind of bigger death candle. We get this pop, which is natural after a kind of a stock makes a move like this. So we get this kind of low in this pop and then we get kind of another type of like kind of low, but it fails to break down again. And in this case, it's like, okay, well, maybe it'll break down, but then we kind of get this other one. So we're noticing that obviously the lows are getting higher and the highs are kind of getting lower. So people are kind of thinking to themselves, well, this stock should break down. I mean, it's done this massive candle. There's no way that this could even squeeze or give us like a 50 cent move to the upside. There's just no way is what kind of people are thinking. But we noticed down here that the volume is decreasing, but the stock's kind of trending higher. And that's a clue that I kind of use is that, okay, we're getting less volume, so it's easy to get this kind of manipulation like down here kind of says to like, I'm kind of thinking to myself in my mind, like, okay, like if we're getting a lower volume, shouldn't the price be going lower? And that's a time where kind of the volume is kind of telling you like, okay, we're grinding higher, we're doing a little bit, a little bit lower volume. We know that it's easier to manipulate when the stock is doing a little bit lower volume and we get this type of candle. So that's kind of a clue. We also know that if you're a short seller, you're probably short from this area. You're probably a little bit more comfortable because you're saying to yourself, wow, the volume is kind of drying up down here. I'm not saying that every time you see this type of, this type of action is gonna work. Like obviously it needs to be used in conjunction with the lines, with the price action. And it's really kind of a case-by-case basis. But I'm just gonna be going over some of these types of traps when they do use the lower volume and when they do kind of squeeze. So it's really interesting to kind of note that we notice that the volume has kind of dried up. I mean, this is the lowest volume that it's done in this kind of half hour period and we get this manipulation type of squeeze right afterward. So it's just something to be aware of. So anyway, that brings me to the end of the video. I'm available anytime to message. I do a lot of calls. I talk to a lot of shorts. I talk to a lot of longs. Just really about anything to be honest.
