Pivot Pricing

Project Aim

To build an investment strategy based purely based on investor sentiments. Our goal is to understand the investor sentiments at pivot points of a stock price. It is based on a hypothesis that investors get influenced by the stock price when the number of digits in price changes and hence leads to surging and fall in stock prices.

Work Done

We analyzed the different stocks based on when there is a change in the number of digits of the stock price. Stock prices show a continuous pattern at pivots points. Pivots points considered by our project is 100. We analyzed around 500 stocks and based on sectors, Market Cap, their pricing, and collect data when the stock hit the pivot point and followed by 3 months prior and after in steps of months.

Future Scope

The project can be extended further to other pivot points like 1000 and also working on finding more pivot points and use them to generate returns within a span of 3-4 Months and tracking based on the pivot points
