What are the Sharks Secretly Doing During a Sidewave Market? On Balance Volume Indicator
Do you feel bored when Bitcoin goes Sideways for weeks? Thinking of selling because you assume the market has run out of steam? Wait. Turn on the On Balance Volume (OBV) indicator. In technical analysis, there is an immutable rule Volume precedes price. OBV is the ultimate tool to see through what Smart Money is doing in the shadows that price candles do not show.
🔸 OBV operates on the flow principle:
If Green Candle entire daily volume is Added to OBV.
If Red Candle entire daily volume is Subtracted from OBV.
👉 The OBV line tells you which side is truly dominating in cumulative volume.
🔸 The Truth About Accumulation. This is OBV most powerful money making signal:
Price goes sideways or drops slightly.
Consistently makes higher lows.
Smart Money is silently accumulating. They place large Limit buy orders to support the price while aggressively scooping up coins whenever someone sells. They accumulate skillfully so price doesn't spike immediately.
👉 When supply is exhausted, price will Breakout violently in the direction of the OBV.
🔸 Conversely, when you see Price rising but the OBV line is diving or staying flat.
That is a Fake Pump. Price rises due to Retail FOMO buying with low volume, while Sharks are taking the opportunity to dump on them. Sooner or later, price will crash.
🔹 OBV is like a lie detector.
Price can lie.
But Volume cannot lie.
If you see boring price accumulation but OBV is going vertical, be patient and greedy. Smart money is fueling the rocket. Don't sell your assets cheap to them.
