Explainer: How to read the BTC spot CVD chart
April 20, 2026, 6:17 PM
The Spot Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) chart analyzes the order book for the BTC/USDT spot pair. The top section shows the Volume Heatmap, while the bottom section displays the CVD.
- The Volume Heatmap tracks the scale of trading volume at specific price levels. The background color becomes brighter when the price remains in a certain range for an extended period or moves significantly. These brighter areas may act as potential support or resistance levels.
- The CVD indicator at the bottom represents buy and sell orders categorized by trade size. As buy orders increase, the corresponding colored line rises. The yellow line tracks orders between $100 and $1,000, while the brown line represents large orders ranging from $1 million to $10 million.Log in to leave comments!
