IMO I wouldn't consider something an upthrust or spring unless there is penetration of a established level and then a failure. An upthrust relies on creating a false breakout of an established range. It is intended to run stops of weak shorts, get breakout traders involved etc.
It helped me to look at a 1 minute chart of something with good liquidity and notice where significant volume comes in. It generally either comes in to push through an established level and move higher or it comes in after the penetration of an established level and signifies a reversal. Horizontal lines are key. Volume spikes in the middle of nowhere don't usually result in anything compelling.
