One of the main benefits of volume is that it leads to the price movement of the stock i.e. giving us early signals when the price movement is going to continue or reverse. Despite being plotted on a price chart and measured numerically, the real individual quantitative value of OBV is not significant. The indicator itself is cumulative, while the time interval remains fixed by a dedicated starting point, which means that the real number value of OBV arbitrarily depends on the start date. Rather, traders and analysts look to the nature of OBV movements over time; the slope carries all of the weight of analysis. The theory behind the OBV indicator is based on the difference between smart money (institutional investors) and less sophisticated retail investors. As mutual funds and pension funds start buying into an issue that retail investors are selling, volume may rise even as the price remains relatively level.<\/p>\n
