Institution funds flowed in on news release of March 22, causing share price breaking sharply through 80 cents resistance to $1.10 in just 2 days (March 22, 23) with 6-day volume of 8 million shares as some institution funds don't invest in stocks under $1. Share price has been in a perpetual upswing since then.
Another example of high tonnage pays off:
