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.
4/13: The pps closed higher on 863,182 shares traded. The higher close follows a one day pps decline, and therefore all shares traded today are added to the cumulative OBV as a positive. Although the pps was up today, the volume was not impressive. Cumulative OBV needs to rise higher then the mark set on 3/30 of 28,772,788 to stay classified as being in a rising field trend. If it does rise above that number, an UP designation would then be applied to acknowledge that achievement. Even though we have not achieved an UP designation since 3/30, we also have not had a DOWN designation. That is why MRIB continues to be classified as being in a rising field trend..
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....
