One of the indicators I have noticed indicating a peak in the market is heavy volume on down days and light volume on up days. Along with the above the CBOE put call ratio drops to less than 0.75 for a couple of trading sessions. Livermoore used a list of stocks which fell before the market peaked.
Trading indicators are best used along with money management and good risk control, using trading indicators alone will not enable you to be a successful trader, even if you learn everything about day trading indicators the market is just too random and unless risk is controlled, over time your account will slowly get wiped out, regardless how good a “trader” you think you are.
This question was about day trading indicators and there have been some pretty good answers that should help in your trading, and especially in relation to day trading indicators, the answer has been posted in the categories listed below:

The price its going to drop when investors says it enough… sometimes the news accelerate the process, you have to Analise if the stock market is overvalued… sometimes its not just the volume since its just taking a breath until start climbing again…., you can use the MACD to get in and get out.. but a big crash its difficult to foresee…
It is essential to have system, which may or may not include volume analysis. I actually look at volume last.
Now there are as many systems as there are traders.
I for one like candlestick charts which tell you pictorially about the quality to the day’s trading. I know that certain candles show change or possible change in market direction.
I also use bollinger bands and moving averages to tell me when to get in and I use RSI and Stochastic to get out.

If you figure it out, let me know so I can sell my stocks.
I say look at previous trends, use software if necessary. Numbers are very good indicators of trends. What do I know? I’m just a poor dumb college student.
