How the share price is decided?
The supply and demand determine a share price. If the demand is high, it will increase, and if the demand is low, it decreases. Stock prices depend on the bid and ask of the stock. A bid is an offer to buy a certain number of shares for a specific price.
How do share prices go up?

A number of factors trigger this interest – each signalling to investors that this is a share they really want to be holding.
