  on the downside, often suggests the point where institutional support
  exists, but only on the larger more liquid stocks.

  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.
