Indeed, Monday’s action marked the lowest full-day, total composite trading volume —roughly 5.7 billion shares—since Sept. 10, according to Dow Jones Market Data. In fact, Monday’s session was even eclipsed by the holiday-shortened Christmas Eve session’s turnover of 5.79 billion shares. “For the New York Stock Exchange, there has been a bit of hesitation to have full participation in the rally…with a decent amount of people on the sidelines,” State Street’s Bartolini said.

The Value Line is used by many technical analysts as a measure of broad-market participation in rallies or selloffs because indexes like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, which are market capitalization- weighted, can be skewed by bigger constituents like Facebook Inc., Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.36% Amazon.com Inc. AMZN, -0.17% Netflix Inc. NFLX, +1.58% and Google parent Alphabet Inc. GOOGL, +0.11% GOOG, +0.00% by virtue of their mega market values.“There is this debate on volumes.
