Then I would be given to understand that you are of the opinion that price progression / moves don't matter . . . .?

Nothing worth arguing about anyway. Either without the other is unsustainable. Volume can induce bidding/price and price/bidding can induce volume.

Currently, both measures are progressing positively and have overcome significant ostacles by my measures, and the price volume combination has also, for the time being, across several meaningful intervals.

A cause or catalyst beyond anticipation / belief needs to be revealed or we will retest the abysmally low lows.
