Current trading price:

As of Tuesday, the 16th May 2023, or the day the latest Volume Spike event took place, the stock closed at 30.00. The size of the Volume Spike was 3.54X of the average volume. In close succession, there were two more volume spikes. The earlier Volume spike was on 15th May 2023 with a spike size of 5.24X. The one before that was on 6th April 2023 with a spike size of 6.73. This is very significant and indicative of buying frenzy in the market.

 

VOLUME SPIKE EVENT:

The Stock was BULLISH 73.5% of the time following Volume Spike events since the beginning of 2020, average spike size being minimum of 3X. Here is the key Volume Spike event performance of the Stock:

Summary report: Since beginning of 2020, there were 37 Volume Spike events, out of which the latest event of 16th May is yet to be traded, that is the current BULLISH trading opportunity being discussed in this blogpost. There were also two more Volume spike events as mentioned earlier which are still in open trades. This leaves 34 completed trades using Volume Spike trading strategy, of which three were 25 winners (and hence 73.5% confidence or Probability) with average move up (AMU) of whopping 13.89% and average move down (AMD) of 8.27% for an average holding time (ADH) of about 40 days.

Historical RRR in those completed trades was a low 0.6:1. Please note that RRR shown here is a worst-case scenario, as many trades could be closed sooner with higher profit compared to trades closed at the end of 9-week period. However, because of the low RRR of the past trade, we would be careful in making a trading decision. As mentioned earlier, this week’s Stock of interest is for the purpose of illustrating how Volume spike trading strategy is implemented using the information from our trading application.
