I've taken the product of the close and the volume for the 46 funds that have traded at least 150 sessions and averaged their daily cross-section.  The following is a chart of this average dollar liquidity over the past  150 sessions in blue, with a 20-session moving average in red.  The trend quite clearly indicates that not all market volatility is bad for ETFs.

Ultra $$$

Excellent work, Michael.  I particularly like the Ultra $ chart.  Any thoughts on Ultra $ volume as a contrarian sentiment indicator or related market timing mechanism?
Cheers,
