The importance of Volume Analysis
In a stock market, the daily transaction value is measured. It is reflected in the "volume bar" which usually take place below the candlestick chart. When the bar is high, meaning the market is enthusiast about the stock but when it was low, the market is not really interested.
However, there are other function of volume bar:
1. Detect a reversal
Market moves both ways, up and down. There will be a particular point where the price reverse from/to uptrend to/from downtrend. When the volume and the price decrease accordingly, it usually indicate incoming downtrend.
2. Measure market strength
When the volume is high, as i said, it measures market enthusiasm. And when market enthusiasm is high followed by daily increase in volume, it will result in a stronger trend (uptrend).
3. Breakout Confirmation
Most of traders would be familiar with "B-o-B : Buy on Breakout". However, it is often that we face a "false breakout". One of the way to minimize the risk is to pay attention at the volume, as more volume reduce the chance of false breakout.

Mid-day market summary (just doing this for fun, not likely will do it everyday hahah)
Top active is the soon-to-be delisted $BRAHIMS / 9474 (BRAHIM'S HOLDINGS BERHAD) . Why everyone wants to trade this, I have no idea. Don't people know the risks, or are they doing it in spite of that?
This is a clear example of why I always tell people, that no matter how "TA" you are, you need to understand a little bit of "FA" of the counters you're trading. Kena one time like this, your capital just goes poof.
Interesting price movements found in $YTL / 4677 (YTL CORPORATION BERHAD) and ytlpower ... insiders leaked out for digital bank winner maybe? As usual, chart moves before the news is out. I don't recall any material development for them other than this.
$PCHEM / 5183 (PETRONAS CHEMICALS GROUP BERHAD) has been on a tear lately, gaining almost 10% since @DavidSee starting writing about it. 10% may be small, but for one of the biggest market cap companies in bursa, it's no small feat. Swift also popped today, being one of the highest value traded counters.
The brewer $HEIM / 3255 (HEINEKEN MALAYSIA BERHAD) makes the top gainer list; surprisingly the other brewer Carlsberg is red. An interesting divergence, as usually both kind of move in tandem with each other. @Lionelllleong are you aware of anything?
Overall, most indices are rather positive, albeit flat. How was your day? Hope it was a good start to the end of the week!
