The market has once again fallen into a dull period. The entire trading scene is filled with low pressure, and the old routines continue to play out, but this time trading activity has actually picked up somewhat. Basically, it's repeatedly picking at the bottom zone, while trading volume is quietly accumulating. It seems that market participants are still pondering something; although sentiment is low, their activities haven't really stopped. This contradictory phenomenon is actually quite common in a bear market—looking dull on the surface, but with underlying currents surging beneath.
