What the obv bearish divergence is
Price made a higher high, but volume flow made a lower high. Buyers were running out of force.
Imagine climbing higher up a hill while fewer and fewer friends keep climbing with you. You are higher, but with less support behind you. An OBV bearish divergence is when price makes a higher high, but OBV, the running total of volume flow, does not follow it up.
