CVD Divergence at a Range High in Crypto: How to Check the Raw Trades and Data Coverage

A lower CVD high at a higher price high suggests weaker buying. Data checks come first: anchor, gaps, venue and short liquidations.

Short answer

At a range high, compare CVD at two price highs within one anchor period, check for feed gaps between them, confirm delta and price come from the same venue and market, and look for short liquidations (forced buys) at the second high. Inspect raw trades at each high: a few large buys vs many small ones change the reading. Then measure price response after confirmation.
