Spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) tracks the running total of net buying vs selling volume over time, showing sustained market pressure in either direction. It aggregates Volume Delta (VD) — the difference between buyer- and seller-initiated trades — across intervals (e.g., hourly, 10-minute) where USD or USD-related currencies serve as the quote.

CVD can be viewed per exchange or aggregated across exchanges to reveal persistent market momentum.

This is the Point-in-Time (PiT) variant of Spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD). 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.
