A dated Bitcoin example

On , Bitcoin Accumulation/Distribution read 23,048,375.3 on completed daily candles, using Accumulation/distribution line. This is the dated default calculation; a different candle interval answers a different question.

  1. What does this reading describe?

    A rising line means volume has tended to occur in candles closing higher in their ranges. The oscillator describes changes in that cumulative path.

  2. How is it calculated?

    The close-location multiplier is ((close − low) − (high − close)) / (high − low). Multiply by volume and add over time. Chaikin subtracts the line’s 10-period EMA from its 3-period EMA.

    Shared calculation conventions

  3. What does a worked example look like?

    A close three quarters up its range gives multiplier 0.5. With 100 BTC volume, the line adds 50 BTC-weighted units.

  4. What does this mean for you?

    It does not identify buyer- or seller-initiated trades. It can rise on a candle whose close is below the previous close, and its cumulative level depends on the history start.

How does it compare?

Accumulation/Distribution uses a close’s position inside its candle. OBV uses whether that close rose or fell from the previous candle.
