Whoa! Nearly 89% Upside today on rising volume for the NYSE. That makes 3 days in a row of at least 8-1 upside volume. While the preponderance of upside volume over the last three days has to be seen as bullish the fact that it started on lower volume and is now picking up; May mean that we simply have more sellers showing up as stocks rise rather than sustainable long term buying.
