Trading volume is one of the metrics we use to predict price movement and direction.  Though it has been slow in coming, we finally have the volume increase that we were looking for.  Volume is a very positive indiicator of overall sentiment as well as creating the expectation of a commensurate price increase.  We have experienced a ten-fold increase in trading volume and we should now see a ten-fold increase in price. Though slow in coming, it will happen.
