Considerably lower volume is observed in the last couple of days, which is not what you would like to see during a strong up movement.

CIA has an average technical rating and it also does not offer a high quality setup at the moment. Price movement has been a little bit too volatile to find a nice entry and exit point. It is probably a good idea to wait for a consolidation first.
