Chartology: Arch Coal (ACI) Breakout or Fakeout?

Stock ChartsWatch Arch Coal (ACI) has been in a series of recent downtrends, the most recent being one from 15 dollars down to 5 bucks and change. This downtrend channel was broken to the upside today. This looks to be a tradable breakout, but keep in mind the price malaise over the past year and a half (from $35 to $5), so set stops and right-size positions.
