One of the reasons I remain invested is that over the last 2 years, Dash has demonstrated that it is functionally focused. That means turning itself into a tool - like a spanner - for people and for business.
A monetary tool, not trainspotter porn.
b.t.w. on another subject, I used to think that the OBV metric was only any use at very long ranges - e.g. 1-day or 1-week.
But in Dash's case there are these two markets:
currency and reserve. You can see demand for the reserve market specifically, manifesting in the short range OBV chart with massive temporary deviations from the moving average *. (Or you can just check the volume bars if you're not interested in the more diverse aspects of trading analytics. The only problem with volume bars though is that they don't show you the directional balance of the volume movement in context unless you take the time to work it out for yourself).
P.S. When I wrote
this commentary on Duffenomics, the 'reserve market' (amount of Dash invested in securing the network infrastructure and earning a return as such) was 55% of the coin supply at that time.
It is now 60%.
What are the implications of that ? They are that BOTH Dash's currency market and reserve markets have grown independently of each other.
Demand for a fixed income investment has grown (because the coin supply invested in that market has increased from 3.2 million Dash to 4 million).
Demand for a speculative investment has grown since the price of the traded supply has risen (it could have fallen, even though the reserve market grew, since supply is only one half of the equation)
Here is the full context.

I made an assumption there. Of course I don't know that that particular trade was destined for masternode collateral. But given Dash's low liquidity, markets, high volume speculative trades are less likely to be executed as abruptly and with as much price movement as straight buys into the reserve market IMO
