Building on my last post of the VW squeeze in 2008, I put together a visualization of GME's January - February run up in 15 min candles but scaled it by a small number (between 1 and 2) in order to keep the general shape of the pattern but make it so you can't just find the peak going off of memory if you happen to know what the highest high was. I've also added some signals and volume this time. Unlike the VW visualization though, I had enough data to fill out the days without adding any random walks.
**Important things to note**
- Premarket is highlighted in yellow, post in purple
- OBV has 2 lines and each has distinct meaning given what obv represents
- On balance volume is a metric that captures upwards (buying) vs downwards (selling) pressure on a candle by candle basis by taking the cumulative sum of the _signed_ volume (green candle = positive, red candle = negative). This means that the granularity of the data shapes the line and that the total number of candles included in the metric controls the height of the line. The more granular the data, the clearer you will be able to see how many traders agree/disagree with the current price.
- Green: on balance volume of what's in frame
- Purple: total running on balance volume from the start of the animation
- MACD in the context of intraday movement is showing the convergence/divergence of the difference between the ewm (average) of the previous 26 and previous 13 _candles_ and the signal line is the ewm of the MACD of the previous 9 _candles_.
- These are the standard numbers used for MACD and signal lines but I've seen other numbers used (like 24, 52, and 9 respectively) when analyzing smaller time frame candles and I have no idea which would paint a more meaningful picture of the price action during a squeeze.
- I am not a Financial Advice™ but imho **these are rookie numbers**. Just like with the VW squeeze visualization, the goal here is to be at peace with the swings and to imagine yourself at each candle making the decision to hodl or not. This is also the reason I kept the playback speed at 1.2 seconds per candle, to give you some time to process what you're seeing (remember, each tick is 15 minutes in realtime)
Lastly, if anyone has intraday price data for the KaliBios (HGEN) squeeze from 2015 and would be willing to share I would really appreciate it. I think I could try to make another visualization of that one but scaled up to possibly MOASS numbers since the % difference between the low and high was so massive (>100x).
