Volume Delta
Volume delta measures the difference between aggressive buying volume and aggressive selling volume over a specified period. The precise calculation depends on the data source and methodology.
Why it matters to you
Total volume tells you how much trading occurred. Volume delta attempts to show which side was more aggressive. Positive delta generally indicates more volume executed by aggressive buyers, while negative delta generally indicates more volume executed by aggressive sellers. This does not mean price must move in the same direction.
