Example of a potential down trend based on volume confirmation - GME

GME 30 day chart

1. the vertical "candlestick" lines show the open, high, low and close price for the day
2. the blocks on the bottom show the days trading volume
   1. you can prices increased on days volume was up
   2. in general, prices declined when volume dropped
3. shows price spikes on short squeeze WHEN days have high volume
   1. there's a chance to use buy and sell stops to MAYBE make a real gain
   2. consider averaging in and out of positions to minimize risk vs going all in
   3. my "all in" trades have sometimes shown "all in" bigger losses
4. My interpretation of GME chart
   1. given it's a short squeeze, when I see declining volumes trending down, I assume the shorts are getting covered so volume declines
   2. there is less incentive to "spike" prices given the short buyers are getting covered so downside risks are up
   3. Price alerts can be set as well as conditional exit orders to protect a gain or minimize a loss
