January closed with substantial volume trading around 17 USD.

Volume in February was lower than January. In the first week, moderate buying brought SNX above 20 USD, then low volume pushed it above 23 USD before pulling back to 20 USD.

Another low-volume push in the second week brought SNX above 25 USD, where it ultimately peaked above 26 USD.

The third week in February saw a low-volume retreat to 23 USD, followed by another drop to 17.5 USD in the last week of February.

February closed with low volume trading around 18 USD.

March is off to a strong start with moderate volume trading above 21 USD.
