The Futures Selling Volume Intraday metric measures the total trading volume (in USD value) where sellers were the aggressors, focusing on the native asset traded against USD-related currencies (both fiat and stablecoins) within a specific intraday time frame. This metric aggregates both expiry and perpetual futures contracts, providing a comprehensive view of immediate selling pressure in the futures market. This metric is useful for understanding short-term market sentiment and identifying immediate selling pressure. By analyzing intraday selling activity, traders can gain insights into potential short-term price movements and make timely decisions based on current market dynamics.

This is the Point-in-Time (PiT) variant of Futures Sell Volume. PiT metrics are strictly append-only and their history is immutable. The historic data does not necessarily reflect the best current knowledge, but the information at the time when a data point was first computed. PiT metrics are ideal candidates for applications in model backtesting and related quantitative purposes. Read our article on PiT metrics for more information.
