SBV stands for Selling/Buying Volume.

Buying Volume (also called Bullish or Positive Volume) is volume traded to the price up-side, and Selling Volume (also known as Bearish or Negative Volume) is volume traded to the price down-side.

The most popular SBV indicators are SBV Oscillator and SBV Flow. Both these indicators are developed to compare selling (bearish) and buying (bullish) volume by defining the major players (buyers or sellers) on the market. In our market commentaries we analyze :

- the direction of these indicators (whether they decline or advance) to see whether bullish or bearish pressure is on the up-side;
- their readings (how far up above zero or deep down below zero) to see whether bullish or bearish pressure is dominant;
- how long they were moving above or below zero center line to evaluate how strongly market (in case of our commentaries) is overbought or oversold respectfully.
