High Volume Penny Stocks For Your Weekend Watch List
What’s one of the top technical indicators traders use to buy penny stocks? Some will use things like relative strength. Others may use Fibonacci retracement levels. But one indicator almost all traders use is volume. This is one of the most important things to monitor when it comes to the stock market today. If you don’t have volume in stocks, you don’t have much of a market to buy and sell from. One might say that volume is the life-blood of the market.
There’s no doubt that small-caps are experiencing a massive uptick in action this month. In fact, almost daily, we see the most active list of stocks includes a majority of penny stocks. If you were reading some of our articles on Wednesday, we talked about this topic. Of the top 10 most active NYSE and Nasdaq stocks, 8 were stocks under $5.

While is volume important in penny stocks? It all has to do with actually trading. If you have a stock you like, but it doesn’t have volume, how will you sell when it comes time. Buying is one thing, but selling is where you make your money. Without enough volume, you risk missing out on profit. Either you can’t sell all of your position above your entry price, or you can’t sell any of it because the market is too illiquid. So when it comes to finding stocks to buy, make sure there’s enough volume to account for your trade.
