A Whole Lot Of Bull: The S&P 500's No-Conviction, No Volume "Rally" To All-Time Highs - volume knob 

All-time high in the S&P 500 yesterday? 

Yep.

Meanwhile, US Equity Volume crashed. Here's analysis from our Macro team in a note sent to subscribers earlier today:

"Take a look at volume the last two trading days. We’re comfortable calling the nearly 2% move in the SPY Friday-Monday a “melt-up”. Market and Total exchange volume on Friday was down -8% and -7% vs. 1-month averages on Friday and yesterday volume was much lighter still. Total market volume was down -24% vs. 1-month averages and total exchange volume was down -19% vs. 1-month Averages showing the lack of breadth at all-time highs and cycle high market multiples."

In other words, yesterday's no volume up day is an expression of investors' lack of conviction. Funny how market volume rips on down days and is nowhere to be found on bull-touted "rallies."
