Bank of America (BAC) hit a 52-week high in late July and then corrected with a falling flag or channel the last five weeks. Despite this correction, the indicator window shows On Balance Volume (OBV) remaining strong and hitting a new high last week. This suggests that BAC is still under accumulation and prices could breakout. Joe Granville, creator of OBV and a pioneer in technical analysis, passed away on Monday. He was 90.
