Today's trading session opened with a gap up, indicating strong buyer sentiment. However, the stock has been trading below its 5-day, 20-day, 50-day, 100-day, and 200-day moving averages, suggesting ongoing volatility. The erratic trading pattern, with the stock not trading on three days out of the last 20, may also contribute to the current buying pressure as investors react to recent developments in the construction sector.
