Katherine:

     Couldn't "churning" also identify a stock which has been weak (ie. in a downtrend), but then does not make any more headway down-and does this on heavy volume.  Wouldn't this indicate the end of the downtrend (or at least-the beginning of a consolidation, perhaps leading to the stock garnering strength?).  

     Moreover, as distribution (as you pointed out) is likely at the top (as indicated by the hi volume and stalling); wouldn't accumulation be likely at the churning point in the downtrend (ie. since the stock is not falling anymore and it is not doing it on hi volume-wouln't this signify that someone is buying up all the stock that someone else is selling)

     I bring up this question because I'm not sure of the answer.  I thought WON has said (or perhaps it was in an IBD Investors Corner article) that "churning" can take place on the upside (to indicate future weakness) or on the downside (to indicate future strength).

     In any event, what is your experience or observation or comments and conclusions on my churning conundrum.
