The Futures Taker CVD (Cumulative Volume Delta) for BCH has flipped positive on Sunday and has been constantly increasing so far this week. This metric measures the cumulative difference between market buy and sell volumes over 3 months. When the 90-day CVD is positive and increasing, it suggests the Taker Buy Dominant Phase, while a negative and decreasing value indicates the Taker Sell Dominant Phase.
