Volume refers to the number of shares of a particular stock which have changed hands in a specific period of time, mainly one day. Stocks having higher volumes means there are a greater number of investors who are interested in purchasing or selling them. Therefore, heavy buying and consecutive upper circuits indicate optimism around a particular stock and investors can expect healthy returns in a short duration of time.
If a particular stock which has a high trading volume continues to rise, it usually means that there is a strong buying pressure. This can be concluded because it means that demand of investors has been pushing the prices to higher highs. One the other hand, if the price continues to fall with high trading volume, it suggests that the stock is experiencing a lot of selling pressure. Usually different analysts tend to draw different conclusions. If a stock continues to rise on low trading volume, it may mean that there is an absence of sellers. And if a particular stock continues to decline on low volume, it may mean that there are very few bids for that stock. Therefore, what’s better than a stock has been seeing heavy buying and consecutive upper circuits? Everything said and done, investors are continuously on a look out for the share which are experiencing heavy buying and consecutive upper circuits.
