On Balance Volume (OBV) - Technical Analysis from A to Z
On Balance Volume ("OBV") is a momentum indicator that relates volume to price change. The OBV indicator is a running total of volume. It shows if the volume is flowing into or out of a security. When the security closes higher than the previous close, all of the day's volume is considered up-volume. When the security closes lower than the previous close, all of the day's volume is considered down-volume.
Volume - Technical Analysis from A to Z
Volume is the number of shares (or contracts) traded during a specified time frame (e.g., hour, day, week, month, etc.). The volume analysis is a basic yet essential element of technical analysis. The volume provides clues as to the intensity of a given price move. Volume can help determine the health of an existing trend. A healthy up-trend should have higher volume on the upward legs of the trend and lower volume on the downward (corrective) legs. A healthy downtrend usually has a higher volume on the downward legs of the trend and a lower volume on the upward (corrective) legs.
