Order flow
What is Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) and how does it trace structural divergence between price and aggressive buying/selling?
By Easy Money Scanner · Educational reference · Not investment advice
The short answer
Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) sums the running difference between aggressive buy and sell market-order volume over time, tracking when price and order-flow pressure diverge.
How it works
Rising price with falling CVD can signal weakening buying pressure underneath a rally, used as a supplementary confirmation tool, not a standalone predictive signal.
An example
Price rises while CVD declines, a bearish divergence.
