>>The downward price action we have seen so far this month in the markets is a "nontrending" event, since there is no volume confirmation<<

A breakout on the OBV can come with small volume, if it is consistently down. OBV data on the indexes is hard to find. Here's a chart of the SPY which should closely model the SP500-

Though the volume hasn't been heavy, it has been consistently negative over the last couple of weeks, and the OBV is breaking down to territory it hasn't seen in a while.

This is a sign that the downtrend should continue. Of course, you are correct that there is no RED ALERT volume sell indications- Just indications that the current trend should continue. If you see the volume increasing on mildly negative days- then start to worry. (Unless you're short)<g>
