One more thing that i have perhaps not been able to explain to people properly is that the best moves happen when both price and OBV are in sync. When you see strength in OBV but not in price, it is never a good idea to short, in fact at times like these just wait out this move and enter when price also shows strength. The reason for this is (Though some of my friends will not agree) that volumes lead price. In short look at the larger picture and do not take either price or volumes in isolation. Just pull up the Reliance charts and see what i am driving at. After the initial pessimism, volumes started going up though the price was still falling. This just showed, that as anticipated, the informed people were buying stealthily while the retail was shorting. One should have just waited for price to show strength (be it any way eg. taking out the earlier pivot high of say 5min./15min chart) to enter into this counter.
