ZIVO Bioscience (NASDAQ:ZIVO) stock is rocketing higher on Friday despite a lack of news concerning the company.
Instead, it looks like we’ve got another classic case of a penny stock being pushed higher by retail traders. These traders look for cheap stocks to pump higher so that they can dump their shares at a higher price.
Backing up that idea today is the heavy trading ZIVO stock is undergoing. As of this writing, more than 53 million shares of the stock have changed hands. To put that in perspective, the company’s daily average trading volume is closer to 2.2 million shares.
Funnily enough, this isn’t even the first time this week that these traders have pumped ZIVO stock. We saw a similar trend on Monday that had the shares spiking incredibly high before slipping back down.
Keeping that in mind, here’s what traders need to know about ZIVO stock.
