Most Active Stocks by Volume

Active by volume refers to stocks that have recorded the highest number of shares traded during a session. High volume indicates strong market interest and participation in a stock, which can signal a significant price move.

Volume validates price moves. A price rise accompanied by high volume suggests strong buying conviction, while a price fall on high volume indicates strong selling pressure. Low-volume moves are considered less significant.

Not necessarily. High volume can occur during both bull and bear moves. Traders combine volume with price action, candlestick patterns, and trend analysis before making trading decisions. Volume alone is not a buy or sell signal.

Trading volume is the total number of shares that change hands during a trading session. It is reported in the number of shares (or contracts for F&O) and is updated in real time on exchanges.
