Summer Doldrums Have Arrived - Market Volume Likely to Continue Fading

In a typical year, barring any external event triggers, trading activity typically begins to decline around the July 4th holiday towards a summer low usually in late August. We refer to this summertime slowdown in trading as the doldrums due to the anemic volume and uninspired trading on Wall Street. Fading summer volume is also why many summer rallies tend to be short lived and can be quickly followed by a pullback or correction.

Above are plotted the one-year seasonal volume patterns for the NYSE since 1965 and since 1978 for NASDAQ against the annual average daily volume moving average for 2024 as of the close on July 5, 2024. The typical summer lull is highlighted in yellow. After spiking around quarterly options expiration and the end of the first half of the year, trading volume has been retreating in typical seasonal fashion. A prolonged surge in volume during the typically quiet summer months, especially when accompanied by market gains, can be an encouraging sign that the bull market will continue. However, should traders lose their conviction and participate in the annual summer exodus from The Street, a market pullback or correction could quickly unfold.

Spellcasters hate this fact but if you just stick your fingers in their mouth while they're casting a spell with a verbal component it's literally more effective than a counter spell.

Wall Street’s only “Free Lunch” Served This Weekend

Investors tend to get rid of their losers near year-end for tax purposes, often hammering these stocks down to bargain levels. Over the years the Stock Trader’s Almanac has shown that NYSE stocks selling at their lows on or around December 15 will usually outperform the market by February 15 in the following year. When there are a huge number of new lows, stocks down the most are selected, even though there are usually good reasons why some stocks have been battered.

Our “Free Lunch” strategy is only a short-term strategy reserved for nimble traders. It has performed better after market corrections and when there are more new lows to choose from. The object is to buy bargain stocks near their 52-week lows and sell any quick, generous gains, as these issues can often be real dogs.

This strategy has been profitable in 18 of the last 24 years with an average basket gain of 10.5%. This year’s “Free Lunch” stock basket will be emailed to Almanac Investor subscribers before the market opens on Monday, December 18. Subscribers will receive specific buy limits and stop losses for each stock included and the trades will be tracked in the Almanac Investor Stock Portfolios.
