The demand and supply of a particular stock decides the way its price is going to move. When there are more buyers to a stock than sellers - high demand then its price goes up. When there are more sellers than buyers - high supply then the price goes down. The reason as to why people would want to buy or sell a stock would depend on a variety of reasons like, the company's performance, latest news, global economic situation etc.
