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. Whereas, falling field trends signal a stock is suffering from distribution. According to the principles of this technical indicator, volume precedes price movement. Therefore, in this case, the pps of MRIB will most likely be moving higher. In his book, Joe Granville advised; "never buy a stock with evidence of OBV distribution." "Only buy stocks with evidence of OBV accumulation..."
4/20: The pps closed lower today. Therefore, all of todays volume is subtracted from the cumulative OBV column as a negative. However, low volume on a down day is a good sign during a rising field trend. MRIB will continue to be classified as being in a rising field trend until proven otherwise.
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. One or more UP/DOWN designations is called a cluster. Clusters help identify OBV field trends.
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....
