Markets love moderation, an increase in volume is fine but where you see a 'blowout' at higher levels, ie absolutely disproportionate volumes, it would be wise to question it.
Volumes were low on decline, which is good, but the reversal was too sharp, ie the stock just gave up at the top, ideally i look for a downside test position where there is some bullish participation too. Hence the confustion.
One more aspect :
Theres been a leg of fall from Oct - Dec 2010, followed by a huge band of correction. The sharp rise could just be a band-breakout target move, with nothing left after it.
A bit outlandish but if the first leg was a wave 1 and the entire correction in cluding the sharp rise, a wave 2, whos to say we arnet heading into a sharp move down ?
Not sure if its a buy, cuz the candles are just off the mark wrt their shadows (structure) and volume.
