Overview
The CVD Indicator is an essential tool for traders aligning their positions with the market’s main trend. Divergence between the CVD and the price chart can be a strong indication of potential reversals.
This trading tool:
- Calculates ongoing buy and sell volume
- Estimates the volume change in the prevailing trend
- Predicts future price movement
Uptrend Conditions
In the example of a 5-minute silver price chart, the price forms a higher low compared to the previous low, while the CVD forms a lower low than its previous low.
This scenario creates a Bullish Divergence between price and the Cumulative Volume Delta, signaling a potential shift toward an uptrend.
Downtrend Conditions
In the example of a 15-minute gold price chart, the price forms a lower high compared to the previous high, while the CVD forms a higher high than its previous high.
This condition results in a Bearish Divergence between price and the Cumulative Volume Delta, indicating a potential move back into a downtrend.
Indicator Settings

Three modes are available. The default is Total, which accumulates volume from the start to the end of the session. - Period:

Summary
The CVD Indicator in TradingView is a powerful technical analysis tool for assessing market volatility and trend direction. By aggregating the volume delta for each candlestick, it calculates buying and selling pressure to forecast potential market moves.
- Upward movement with positive slope: Indicates strong buying pressure.
- Downward movement with negative slope: Indicates strong selling pressure.
This indicator is particularly effective in highly volatile markets, providing traders with valuable insight into momentum and potential reversals.
