BTC: Futures Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) Perpetual
Shown as its 2–31 Oct 2026 sample; the latest readings and full history are included with Pro.
The running total of perpetual futures volume delta, taker buying minus taker selling in USD, from the first day of the series: the futures market's cumulative volume delta (CVD).
Why use it. A rising CVD means takers have been net buyers over time, a falling one net sellers. Comparing it with the price shows whether moves are carried by aggressive buying or selling, or happen against it. How to read it. Read the slope, not the level: the starting point is the first day of our data, so the value itself has no meaning. A price rising while CVD falls means the rise was not driven by taker buying.
Calculation. CVD = the cumulative sum of the published daily perpetual futures volume delta (USD) from its first day, 14 October 2026, when our collection of it began.
