Fits the criteria of what I'm aiming for so I went long today after missing the breakout yesterday. Stock in an uptrend... i.e. 10 / 20 / 50 ema's are all sloping upwards, declining price volatility after a large move (price tightening) along with declining volume while consolidating after a big move.
One concerning note is the low trading volume during the breakout. We'll see how it plays out.
IMO that huge daily volume candle on DEC 15th marked a temporary top. For me whenever I see a volume candle that much above it's average volume it's a signal for a reversal play as that usually signifies the final capitulation move.
