Dividend yield: Stock traders can use it differently to distinguish between the probability & possibility of making money
Dividend yield is not just an investor’s tool. At certain points in the market, it becomes just as relevant – sometimes even more so – for traders. Yes, traders. Now, why would dividend yield, of all things, act like a support line? The explanation lies in market memory and psychology. Around a certain level of dividend yield, value-oriented funds begin to step in because the price suddenly offers the comfort of an income stock. Momentum traders see valuation support and a floor building underneath the price. Options desks recalibrate, as downside looks limited and covered calls turn attractive. Each group is reacting to its own cues, but collectively they create the reflexive bounce that turns weakness into opportunity for traders.

Dividend yield: There is more to it than meets the eye, both for investors & traders, especially in volatile times. 11 stocks to look at
These days the Nifty and Sensex tend to slip into volatility every second week. Given the tariff situation, we don't know for how long this will continue.
