On Balance Volume (OBV) with Multiple SMAs Indicator

The On Balance Volume (OBV) with Multiple SMAs Indicator is a powerful tool designed to provide insights into market momentum and volume trends. By combining the traditional OBV calculation with multiple Simple Moving Averages (SMAs), this indicator helps traders to identify potential changes in trend and confirm the strength of existing trends.

Key Features
On Balance Volume (OBV):

OBV is a cumulative volume-based indicator that adds volume on up days and subtracts volume on down days. It helps to identify the buying and selling pressure.
OBV is calculated by summing the volume when the closing price is higher than the previous close and subtracting the volume when the closing price is lower than the previous close.
Simple Moving Averages (SMAs):

SMAs are calculated on the OBV to smooth out the fluctuations and highlight the underlying trend.
This indicator includes the following SMAs:
21-period SMA: Short-term trend indicator, helps in identifying quick trend reversals.
60-period SMA: Medium-term trend indicator, provides a balance between short-term and long-term trends.
100-period SMA: Long-term trend indicator, useful for identifying sustained trends.
200-period SMA: Very long-term trend indicator, helps in identifying major trend directions and potential changes.
How to Use
Identify Trend Direction:

The slope and direction of the OBV line indicate the overall buying and selling pressure in the market.
When OBV is above its SMAs, it suggests a strong buying pressure. Conversely, when OBV is below its SMAs, it indicates selling pressure.
Confirm Trends:

The crossovers of the OBV line and its SMAs can act as confirmations for trend changes. For example, when OBV crosses above the 21-period SMA, it may signal a short-term bullish trend.
Support and Resistance:

The SMAs can act as dynamic support and resistance levels for the OBV line. Price bouncing off these levels may provide entry and exit points.
