Over the full day, the volume delta is -$560,222, meaning sellers have dominated the market for the last 24 hours. This net selling volume is confirmed by a CVD of -$560,222 at the 24-hour close.
The latest daily buy ratio of 45.6% sits at the 5th percentile of the last 322 days, against a median of 49.2% - among the weakest buying days it has had.
