Average Volume by Month Plot


This plot shows the average volume traded by each of the stocks by month. As you can see there are two clear outliers that both peaked in January. This is indicative of the previous volume traded plot shown. However when referring back to the stock price plot it is evident that GME’s stock price was far higher than AMC’s.
