Quick observation: This OBV exercise is showing that MRIB is in a rising field trend, and volume is known to precede price movement.
4/08: The pps closed unchanged despite 12,918,587 shares changing hands. The activity is considered a standoff between buyers and sellers. In that most of the intraday trades were at a higher pps, with higher volume, it makes a strong case that the day should be considered that of accumulation. However, I will abide by Joe Granville's rules pertaining to OBV Data and consider the day a standoff. Therefore there is no change to cumulative OBV.
4/09: The pps closed higher on 2,710,660 shares traded. The higher close officially ends the most recent pps contraction and all shares traded today are added to the cumulative OBV as a positive. If tomorrow, or during this pps expansion, the cumulative OBV closes higher then the mark set on 3/30 of 28,772,788, then a rising field trend will be confirmed. An UP designation would then be applied to acknowledge that achievement..
Note: An UP designation is used when a previous cumulative OBV high is broken, and a DOWN designation is used when a previous cumulative OBV low is broken. UP/DOWN designations get transferred from the previous day on days there is no price change.
There are three possible field trends based on OBV Data results: Rising, Doubtful, and Falling. It's purpose is to determine if accumulation/distribution is zigzagging up or down. It takes 2 up movements and 2 down movements before a field trend can be determined....
