CVD at New Price Lows in Crypto: What Price Response Adds to the Reading

At a new price low, CVD shows whether sellers pushed harder than at the last low. A higher CVD low is a divergence candidate; price response decides.

Short answer

At a new price low, compare CVD with its level at the previous low within one anchor period. A lower CVD low confirms aggressive selling; a higher CVD low means the new price low came with less selling — buyers absorbing, or sellers exhausted. Long liquidations can distort CVD at lows on perps; check them. Then measure price response after confirmed pivots.

Measuring the response

Use confirmed pivots, same venue and anchor, note liquidations, and compare spot and perp CVD at the lows.
