On-Balance Volume measures a running total of volume, added on up bars and subtracted on down bars. This page reports what it actually read on U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar 1-minute charts — not what it is supposed to do, but the distribution of 59,991 recorded values over the last 90 days.
| Series | Median | Middle half | 5th / 95th | Full range |

| On-Balance Volume | 37,500,000 | -475,900,000 – 500,400,000 | -1,568,000,000 / 1,094,700,000 | -2,410,400,000 – 1,688,900,000 |
The median is the middle reading, so a single unusual session cannot drag it. The middle half is where On-Balance Volume sat on half of all bars — the range you should expect to see most of the time on this chart.
How this was measured
Every 1-minute bar of U.S. Dollar / Canadian Dollar recorded in the last 90 days was read, and the values grouped without smoothing or filtering. Series with fewer than 400 readings are omitted rather than shown on thin evidence. These are recorded values, not forecasts.
