Your chart showing "declining" volume is using - apparently - NYSE volume on the NYSE (what the WSJ shows as "Total" in the table of half-hourly volume and NYSE New York in the Volume By Market). On 1/4/2010 this was 1,014,802,523 shares, in line with your chart. But the composite volume Monday was 4,122,104,159 shares. NYSE New York was less than 1/4 of total volume and NASD ADF volume of 1,564,212,859 exceeded the NYSE volume. NASDAQ and BATS and others are taking volume from the NYSE. The decline in NYSE New York volume over March - December reflects (1) the March bottom, especially in financial stocks that traded many times their prior volume last winter, (2) quite a few NYSE stocks have moved to Nasdaq, and (3) some non-U.S. issuers have moved to Pinksheets. Why did you post a Dec 1, 2009 chart today?
