Sensex, a stock market indexes was launched in 1986 by BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange). It evaluates the fluctuations in stock prices of 30 big companies in terms of market value, turnover, profit etc. The value of the Sensex is calculated on every minute basis. If the Sensex is going up that means the stock price of most companies of BSE is increasing and if the Sensex is going down that means the share price of most BSE companies is decreasing. The base year of the Sensex is 1978-79 and the base index value was set at 100.
How Sensex calculated with Example
To start with, let's assume there are 2 companies X and Y listed on BSE and Sensex is currently on 30,000 points. Assume that the worth of 1 share of 'X' is Rs. 200 and it has a total outstanding share of 10000 whereas the worth of 1 share of 'Y' is Rs. 500 and its total outstanding share is 7500. So the total capitalization is:
(200 x 10000)+(500 x 7500) = Rs. 57.50 lacs
Now suppose the next day the share price of the 'X' company rises to 25% (200 + 25% of 200) which is 250, and the price of the 'Y' company's shares decreases to 10% (500-10% of 500s) which is 450. Now the total market capitalization of BSE at these new share prices will be:
(250 x10000) + (450x 7500)= Rs. 58.75 lacs
That means the total market capitalization rise from 58.75 lacs form the previous level of Rs. 57.50 lacs; which is showing a 2.17% increase in the market capitalization of the BSE.
So due to this increase in price the Sensex will reach 30651, which is 2.17% higher than 30000.

The answer in two words is "Demand & Supply". Simply if there is more demand of a company shares and less people are willing to sell them, the share will move upwards. If there is a huge supply but no body is interested in buying shares at the current price, the share will move downwards.
Now the major question is how does demand or additional supply comes in to the market and the answer is, there are many factors involve in this including company's financial result, overall economy situations, sector performance, government rules & regulations, major political & natural events, future of the company, upcoming products & services, company management changes, stock market frauds etc.
Any of the above and many more factors affect demand & supply of a company stock and ultimately move it prices to go up & down.
It's very hard to predict stock movement and require lots of research and expertise.
