### Volume is still low and I would still be concerned about a false breakout at the current price level.

Yesterday I expressed some doubt about whether or not we were witnessing a breakout. The 7-day and 1-month charts appeared to be split on whether it was actually occurring.

Notice the low volume compared to the last move into the $0.19 – $0.20 range. The volume difference between this “breakout” and the previous high is ~$160,000 vs. ~$430,000 – or just over 1/3 from the previous high.
