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, most likely by smart money. Whereas, falling field trends signal a stock is suffering from distribution. According to the principles of this technical indicator, volume precedes price movement. Therefore, barring the activity of financial conversion share obligations, and/or negative news from the company, the stock price of MRIB is more likely to rise in the near term. In his book, Joe Granville advised never buy a stock with evidence of OBV distribution. Only buy stocks with evidence of OBV accumulation...
5/05: The pps closed lower today. Therefore, all of todays volume is subtracted from the cumulative OBV column as a negative. The net result is that a down designation was achieved as the cumulative OBV closed lower than the last down day on 5/1/15. However, it takes 2 up designations, and 2 down designations, to change a field trend. Therefore, MRIB continues to be classified as being in a rising field trend. My personal opinion is MM's brought it down to load shares before pending news. I also believe there is a seller of late that they are trying to shake down. We shall see.
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....
