Professional profit taking is occurring when the following conditions are met:

Volume is greater than the previous bar’s volume
Range is less than the previous bar’s range
A new high is made (in an uptrend) or a new low (in a downtrend), and
Closes off the highs (in an uptrend) or off the lows (in a downtrend)
The reduction in the bar’s range is the real key. It shows that additional selling (in an uptrend) or additional buying (in a downtrend) is keeping the bar’s range low. So Professional traders are taking profits and/or "fading" the current trend.

You will almost always see Stopping Volume patterns leading up to a market turning point. However, if the trend is strong it might take several Stopping Volume patterns in a row to slow the trend. Remember, most turning points are Stopping Volume patterns, but not all Stopping Volume patterns are turning points! (-.-)
