Buy Pressure
Buy pressure describes market activity in which buying demand is exerting upward pressure on price or aggressively consuming available sell liquidity. The exact way it is measured depends on the data and tools being used.
Why it matters to you
Buy pressure can help traders understand what is happening behind an upward move. But heavy buying does not guarantee price will continue higher. If aggressive buyers repeatedly enter but price stops advancing, another participant may be absorbing that demand.
