On-Balance Volume - OBV

    0.01 sec.
On-Balance Volume - OBV
A method used in technical analysis to detect momentum, the calculation relates volume to price change. OBV provides a running total of volume and shows if this volume is flowing in or out. This indicator was developed by Joe Granville.

Notes:
Basically it attempts to detect when a financial instrument (stock, bond, etc.) is being accumulated by a large number of buyers, or sold by many sellers.
