How to read it

  • A rising CVD means market buyers dominate; a falling CVD means market sellers dominate.
  • Price rising while CVD falls (or the reverse) is a divergence: the move lacks aggressive support.
  • Read the slope and the swings; the absolute level depends on where the data starts.

Good to know

  • Drawn in its own pane below the chart.
  • For marked divergences at price swings, use CVD Divergence.
