| For Virgin Media Inc., the Negative Volume Index is a well known indicator for market sentiment. This version is includes several enhancements suggested by Norman Fosback.

Interpreting the Calibrated NVI for Virgin Media Inc.: The NVI is an elegant indicator based on sound principles but it should not be interpreted in a simplistic manner. 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". |
