| A well known sentiment indicator is the NVI or Negative Volume Index for Ciena Corporation. Here the Indicator Plot is the Calibrated NVI which incorporates several enhancements added by Norman Fosback.

How to read the Calibrated NVI for Ciena Corporation: In its modern form, the NVI is an elegant indicator, but requires some care in interpretation. The orange plot (NVI less than unity) is not considered bearish because a lowering of the NVI is a natural tendancy under many market conditions. When the plot is in the green area, it indicates that prices are rising on low volume sessions, which is contrary to the normal condition. This can be a tip off to "accumulation behaviour" on the part of someone or some group in the market. The indicator seems most significant when prices are falling and the NVI is rising, which indicates a market that is "buying on the dips". |
