Bitcoin Futures Cumulative Volume Delta
Track Bitcoin perpetual futures cumulative volume delta across Binance.
What is Cumulative Volume Delta for Bitcoin?
Bitcoin cumulative volume delta (CVD) is the running total of BTC futures volume bought by takers minus volume sold by takers. It measures which side is crossing the spread aggressively.
Sharpe builds BTC CVD from Binance perpetual futures candles, the venue whose data carries taker buy volume, so the chart is one venue's order flow rather than a cross-venue total.
How to read the Bitcoin Cumulative Volume Delta chart
Rising Bitcoin CVD means aggressive buyers are in control; falling CVD means aggressive sellers are.
The useful signal is divergence: if BTC price makes a new high while CVD does not, the rally is happening on weaker buying. If CVD falls while price holds, passive buyers are absorbing the selling.
CVD is cumulative, so its absolute level depends on where the window starts. Read its slope and its turns, not the number itself.

Bitcoin Cumulative Volume Delta FAQ
What is a taker in Bitcoin CVD?
A taker is the trader whose order fills immediately against resting orders. BTC CVD adds taker buy volume and subtracts taker sell volume.
What does a Bitcoin CVD divergence mean?
A divergence is when BTC price and CVD move in different directions. It often shows a move running out of aggressive participation, or passive orders absorbing it.
Why does the Bitcoin CVD value look arbitrary?
Because it is a running sum from the start of the selected window. Change the window and the level shifts; the direction and divergences are what carry information.
