Check-Cap Ltd. (NASDAQ:CHEK) stock is on the rise Monday despite a lack of news concerning the company.
Shares of CHEK stock are skyrocketing alongside heavy trading. As of this writing, more than 151 million shares of the stock have changed hands. That’s quite the spike from the company’s average daily trading volume of 2.62 million shares.
