Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) — Volume Drop
# Cumulative Volume Delta (CVD) — Volume Drop
Volume tells you *how much* changed hands, but Cumulative Volume Delta tells you *who was leaning on the tape*. This drop builds a session-anchored running total of approximated buying minus selling pressure so you can see when a move is backed by real participation — and when it isn't.
## What it does
- Splits each bar's volume into "buy" and "sell" shares using close-location within the high/low range
- Accumulates the net delta into a running total that resets at the start of every day, week, or month (your choice)
