Quick observation: This OBV exercise is showing that MRIB is currently in a rising field trend. Rising field trends signal that a stock is under accumulation. According to the principles of this technical indicator, volume precedes price movement.
4/10: The pps closed lower on 1,562,103 shares traded. The lower close interrupts the most recent pps expansion and therefore all shares traded today are subtracted from the cumulative OBV as a negative. Although the pps was down today it declined on lower volume then it had gone up the previous day. As a result, a down designation can not be applied as the cumulative OBV is higher then the previous pps contraction reached on 4/08 of 25,671,858. If we hold that number, and the cumulative OBV starts rising and 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....
