You should take into consideration that falling volume on higher prices causes divergence and may be an early warning about possible changes over the next couple of days.
The stock lies in the lower part of a wide and strong rising trend in the short term, and this may normally pose a very good buying opportunity. If the lower trend floor at $46.64 is broken, it will firstly indicate a slower rate of rising, but may also be an early warning for a trend shift.
