Basic Attention Token has seen positive buying volume over the past few days, but over the past month, the sellers have dominated the market. The same was highlighted by the OBV.
Through the month of October, the OBV formed a series of lower highs, while the past few days saw a series of higher lows registered on the charts. Whether this is a bounce or the beginning of recovery for BAT was unclear at the time.
