The shorter 50-day line is poised to cross above the 200-day line for what is commonly call a golden cross. The daily On-Balance-Volume (OBV) line is almost at a new high but despite a temporary divergence the OBV line has been climbing the past two months. The Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) oscillator is in a bullish configuration rising above the zero line.
In this weekly bar chart of INTU, below, we can see an impress rise the past three years. Prices are above the rising 40-week moving average line. The weekly OBV line is bullish and so is the MACD oscillator.
