Cumulative Volume Delta tracks aggressive buying minus aggressive selling, accumulated over time, to reveal who is really in control. Price rising while CVD falls warns of a rally being quietly sold into; price falling while CVD rises can signal hidden accumulation — a useful reversal tell, but CVD is an aggregated, venue-dependent proxy, so use confluence. On a sweep, a sharp CVD jump supports a genuine move.
