On Balance Volume (OBV)

On Balance Volume (OBV) is a technical indicator that accumulates volume on up days and subtracts volume on down days to reflect buying and selling pressure behind price changes.

Example: If a stock's price closes higher for several consecutive days and OBV also rises, the indicator suggests that volume is aligning with the price advance; if the price rises while OBV declines, there may be a divergence worth noting.
