#obv

Which markets are under accumulation or distribution and where volume is surging, computed live from Yahoo Finance (no key, nothing stored). Price tells you what is happening; volume tells you whether to believe it. On-Balance Volume adds the day's volume when a market closes up and subtracts it when it closes down, so a rising OBV means buyers are in control (accumulation) and a falling OBV means sellers are (distribution) — and a divergence between OBV and price is an early warning of a turn. A volume surge — today's volume well above its recent average — flags conviction behind a move. For a cross-asset, cross-sector universe — equity indices and sectors, gold, oil, commodities, bonds and crypto — this computes each asset's OBV trend over the last month, its latest volume versus the 20-day average, and tags it accumulation, distribution or neutral. The screener endpoint returns the markets under accumulation and distribution and the ones with a volume surge. The asset endpoint returns one market's OBV/volume card. The universe endpoint lists what is covered. The cross-asset volume / OBV screener cut — distinct from the bring-your-own-candle volume-indicator API and the crypto volume-profile API; it adds the volume dimension the price-only screeners miss.

Live volume-based technical indicators that traders run to confirm a move with the volume behind it, computed on demand from the OHLCV candles you pass in — no key, no cache, nothing stored. The mfi endpoint returns the Money Flow Index, a volume-weighted version of RSI that swings from 0 to 100, with an overbought reading above 80 and oversold below 20. The obv endpoint returns On-Balance Volume, the running total that adds a candle's volume on an up close and subtracts it on a down close, together with whether it is rising or falling — rising OBV confirms buying pressure. The cmf endpoint returns the Chaikin Money Flow, which sums money-flow volume over the lookback to show whether buyers or sellers are in control. These indicators all need the volume of each candle, which makes them a fundamentally different tool from price-only indicators like RSI, MACD, Stochastic and ADX: they answer whether volume is confirming the price move or diverging from it. Works for any market — forex, stocks, crypto or commodities — because you supply the candles with volume. Computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for trading bots, divergence screeners, breakout confirmation and trading dashboards. Candles are open:high:low:close:volume. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints. For price-only indicators use a technical-indicators, oscillators or trend-indicators API.
