Here's a quick breakdown:
High Volume, Low Price = Many retail investors buying cheap/penny stocks.
High Value, Moderate Volume = Institutional or serious money moving. This is where the smart money signal lives. fewer units but bigger naira amounts, meaning fund managers and HNIs were positioning

The lesson? Always check BOTH columns. A stock can top the volume chart and still be a trap. A stock quietly leading by value is often where real conviction lies.
