These stocks witness a huge volume burst in the last leg of the trading session!

KEC International Ltd, RITES Ltd and Cochin Shipyard Ltd have witnessed volume burst in the last 75 minutes of the trade.      

As the saying goes, the first, as well as the last hour of each trading session, is the most important and active in terms of price & volume.  

More so, the activity in the last hour is said to be of utmost importance because most of the pro-traders and institutions are active at this time. Hence, when a stock sees a good spike in volume in the last leg of the trade along with price rise, it is considered a pro, and institutions have a keen interest in the stock. Market participants should keep a close watch on these stocks as they can witness good momentum in the short to medium-term.
