Drifting up on low volumes in a gentle ongoing short squeeze.
These types of markets typically run into a hard event and crumple. The timing may be problematic for the punters, and so the gentle short squeeze is fed daily.
The equity market commentary on the US financial news networks would make Baghdad Bob blush. I think the wiseguys are getting a little nervous because mom and pop seem to be sitting this one out.

"A new, invisible and at times virtual, tyranny is established, one which unilaterally and irremediably imposes its own laws and rules. Moreover, indebtedness and credit distance countries from their real economy and citizens from their real buying power. Added to this, as if it were needed, is widespread corruption and selfish fiscal evasion which have taken on worldwide dimensions. The will to power and of possession has become limitless." Francis I, 16 May 2013
