Technical Reasons: Rounding Bottom formation.
Long term reversal signalling shift from a downtrend to an uptrend. The formation of the pattern comes from a downward price movement to a low (point A to B), followed by a rise from the low back to the start of downward price movement(point B to C) - forming what looks like a rounded bottom.
The pattern is preceded by a downtrend but will sometimes be preceded by a sideways price movement that formed after a downward trend. The start of the rounding bottom (it's left side) is usually caused by a peak in the downward trend followed by a long price descent to a new long-term low.
VOLUME is one of the most important confirming measure for this pattern, here volume is high at initial peak (or start of the pattern) and weakened as the price movement headed towards the low. As the price moved from the low to the price levels set by the initial peak, volume were rising.
