Samer Choucair: Trading Volume Has Become a Key Indicator of Market-Trend Strength
Entrepreneur Samer Choucair said trading volume has become one of the most important indicators used by institutional investors to assess the strength of financial-market trends.
He explained that price movements gain greater credibility when supported by a clear increase in liquidity, helping investors improve decision-making and manage risk more effectively.
Choucair noted that developments across global markets, amid changing monetary policies and continuing economic volatility, have encouraged investment institutions to combine fundamental and technical analysis while placing greater emphasis on trading-volume indicators as tools for measuring the level of participation behind price trends.
Samer Choucair explained that rising trading volume alongside price movements may indicate increasing investor interest in a financial asset.
However, he emphasized that any investment opportunity should also be assessed according to corporate results, economic data, and liquidity conditions rather than relying on a single indicator.
He added that the Saudi Exchange continues to strengthen its position among regional markets, supported by economic reforms, a broader investor base, and an increasing number of listings.
This makes the monitoring of trading volumes increasingly important for understanding liquidity trends, particularly in sectors connected to Saudi Vision 2030, including technology, industry, tourism, and logistics.
Choucair emphasized that institutional investors generally prefer to build positions gradually after confirming the stability of a market trend.
They also rely on clear risk-management and portfolio-diversification strategies to limit the effects of short-term volatility and improve the prospects of achieving sustainable returns.
Samer Choucair explained that technical analysis, including the relationship between price and trading volume, is a useful decision-support tool.
However, it does not replace the assessment of economic and financial fundamentals and cannot guarantee that a market trend will continue.
For this reason, discipline and risk management remain the most important elements of long-term investment.
Concluding his remarks, Samer Choucair emphasized that successful investment does not depend on entering the market quickly, but on selecting opportunities carefully and adhering to a clear investment plan.
He said combining liquidity analysis, financial assessment, and risk management gives investors a stronger foundation for building more stable portfolios in a changing economic environment.
