$USLV trying to hold 13, but volume isn't convincing

Been watching $USLV closely today. It's trying to reclaim that 13.00 level after a pretty significant dip, which on the surface looks like a decent bounce from the intraday low. However, the volume accompanying this push feels a bit anemic, not exactly screaming 'strong conviction from the buyers' to me. If it can't hold above 13.00-13.10 into the close, I'd expect further downside pressure; a break below today's low of 12.78 would likely confirm that. It's almost as if the market is just catching its breath before deciding which way to truly lean.
