Capstone Companies Inc (CAPC)

So this buyer vs seller analysis has been bothering me for some time. I have done a bunch of research, and all I can seem to find is that buy volume is the count of all of the transactions where the price went up, and sell volume is the count of all of the transactions where the price went down. So if more shares were traded going up, then there are more buyers than sellers.

Hopefully I have that right. In any event, I guess its the syntax that bothers me. In actuality, every transaction has an equal number of shares bought and shares sold. In the case of CAPC, I like the volume. Even if the price goes down, if someone is selling, someone else is buying. That means there is interest. The only problem is that the interest is at a lower price than we think is indicated by the company's performance.

But I finally see what Townie is getting at here. In order for the price to start climbing, you need a situation where sellers must be enticed to sell by a high bid, as opposed to a situation where buyers must be enticed to buy by a low ask. For some reason, there seem to be a lot of buyers interested in CAPC at a low price. When the price goes up, the buyers disappear.
