// Calculation of the PVI depends on how current volume compares with the previous 
// day's trading volume. If current volume is greater than the previous day's volume, 
// PVI = Previous PVI + {[(Today's Closing Price-Yesterday's Closing Price)/Yesterday's Closing Price)] 
//   x 
// Previous PVI}. If current volume is lower than the previous day's volume, PVI is unchanged.
