Volume in Stocks

Volume in Stocks refers to the total number of Shares traded for a specific Stock during a given time period. It serves as an indicator of activity and Liquidity in the market, reflecting how many Shares changed hands. High volume suggests strong investor interest, while low volume can indicate a lack of interest or uncertainty.

Examples:

• If a Stock has a volume of 1 million Shares traded in a day, it means that 1 million Shares were bought and sold during that trading session.
• In a week, if a Stock typically trades 500,000 Shares daily but suddenly sees a spike to 2 million Shares on one day, this could signal a major news event or earnings report influencing investor behavior.

Cases:

• Case 1: A technology company reLeases a new product, leading to a surge in Stock volume as investors buy in, pushing the price higher.
• Case 2: A negative earnings report results in high selling volume, indicating panic among investors and potentially leading to a drop in Stock price.
