Price Band
A price band is a regulatory mechanism or a voluntary limit set by an exchange or company that restricts the maximum and minimum price at which a security is allowed to trade for a given day. These bands, which are often expressed as a percentage above and below the previous day's closing price, are mainly implemented to prevent excessive volatility and market manipulation. Trading in the security is stopped or suspended if the price moves outside the set price band.
Swap
A swap is a financial agreement between two parties. They exchange cash flows or liabilities, mostly to manage risk. Common examples of swaps include currency swaps or interest rate swaps. For instance, one party may swap a fixed interest payment for a floating one to hedge against changes in interest rates. A swap helps both parties involved manage exposure and optimize financing costs.
Triple Bottom
A triple bottom is a bullish chart pattern where the price tests the same support level three times without breaking below it. This suggests selling pressure is reducing, and a reversal from downtrend to uptrend may follow.
For example, if a stock falls to ₹200 on three occasions and rebounds each time, it may form a triple bottom, suggesting a potential price rise.
Equity
