Large Volume Spikes

One of the clearest indications that a stock is set to rise occurs when the daily volume spikes four to ten times higher than normal. This is especially true if the volume was previously low. The volume spike is like a skyscraper in the desert. It means that institutions or rich individuals are highly interested in the stock.

A huge volume spike shows that more buying and stock price increases are on the way. Brigham Exploration was such a stock in 2009. The company has large oil deposits up north near Canada in the Bakken area. The stock has risen over ten times from $1 to $13 in 2009. A large volume spike in May was the clue that it had a lot more room to run when it was around $3 per share.
