I'm no trader, but volume has increased since third week of January as has SP.   The Volume Oscillator turned positive on 18 January and remains.  SP now above 200 day MA.   The 200 day MA is leveling and 50 day MA maybe about to turn up.  

Could be all driven by gold price, but other BDR operational improvements are present (as previously highlighted here in this thread).  

Of course, it could just be my optimistic bias kicking in when there is nothing of substance!
