I think if I were fleecing the shorts, I'd let them think they've had a minor win here i.e. letting the stock close down on low volume. When they try to take it down again (next day or two) with volume, then I'd step right back in and buy.

It could very well be that the shorts have already capitulated here. If we get more high volume at the current prices, this may mean they haven't yet thrown in the towel. Higher prices at higher volumes means they have IMHO.
