at long term bottoms, yes. but not at ST/IT bear bottoms that are subsequently broken again. 1930/31 stocks were MORE volatile than in '29 for instance. and again , once the bottom of July 32 was put in...volume btw. fell by 90% too, not just prices. by the time the bottom was in, stocks were so low priced that small nominal moves of 1/16 or 1/8 amounted to huge percentage moves. in any case, there are no hard and fast rules...gold bottomed in a non-volatile manner in '99, but got very volatile on the first move up...oil otoh was very volatile during the late '98/ early '99 bottoming process.
