What is Obv?

On-Balance-Volume (OBV) ist ein Volumenindikator, der in der technischen Analyse verwendet wird. Er hilft Händlern, potenzielle Ein- und Ausstiegspunkte zu identifizieren, indem er die Kursdynamik, die Trendrichtung oder die Volatilität analysiert.

Signal Types

Trend Confirmation

When OBV moves in the same direction as price, it confirms the strength of the current trend.

Bullish Divergence

Occurs when price makes a lower low but OBV makes a higher low, suggesting an upward reversal.

Bearish Divergence

Occurs when price makes a higher high but OBV makes a lower high, suggesting a downward reversal.

OBV Breakout

When the OBV line breaks above a previous resistance level, it often precedes a price breakout.

FAQ

Does the absolute value of OBV matter?

No, the actual numerical value of OBV is irrelevant. Traders should focus on the direction, slope, and relationship of the OBV line relative to price.

What are the limitations of OBV?

OBV can be distorted by massive volume spikes on a single day (e.g., earnings or block trades) that may not represent a long-term trend change.

Is OBV a leading or lagging indicator?

OBV is considered a leading indicator because volume often increases or decreases before price makes a significant move.
