Value investing has long been a favored strategy among investors looking for undervalued stocks with strong potential for future growth. The idea is simple - find companies trading below their intrinsic value, invest in them, and wait for the market to recognize their worth. However, not all seemingly "cheap" stocks are true bargains. Some are value traps - stocks that appear undervalued based on traditional stock valuation metrics but fail to recover or even continue to decline.

  Trading volume is the principal measurable indicator in determining price levels in the market. The trading volume increases at the highest activity of traders and can influence the price trend, either strengthening it or changing its direction.
