What is OBV Breakout?
The OBV line itself breaking above its own recent range — a volume-flow breakout, whether or not price has broken out yet.
Formula
Signal fires when: OBV > highest OBV of the lookback window

Typical Ranges
Inherits OBV's crude daily attribution. 'Breakout' definitions vary by lookback; a single anomalous-volume day can trigger it mechanically.
