What are BSE Volume Shockers?

BSE volume shockers refer to stocks listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) that experience an unusually high trading volume compared to their typical 10-day trading volume average.

The increased interest or activity in high-volume stocks could be driven by various factors such as company news, market trends, sector-specific developments, corporate actions, large institutional buying or selling, or even a shift in market sentiment.

Volume shockers often experience higher price volatility due to the rapid increase in trading activity. This spike in volatility can be of particular interest to day traders, momentum traders, and short-term investors since it allows them to leverage the quick price movements to their advantage. However, despite presenting opportunities, high-volume trading stocks feature increased risk due to the potential price volatility.
