Buy and sell describe the taker
Bybit documents the public trade side as the taker's side. A Buy execution means the aggressive buyer traded against an existing sell order. A Sell execution means the aggressive seller traded against an existing buy order. Every execution still contains both a buyer and a seller; the tape is not counting purchases without matching sales.
The table includes trade time, price, BTC size, computed USDT notional and execution identifier. Repeated execution identifiers are removed within the returned snapshot so a duplicate record does not inflate its totals.
The filter changes the population being measured
Set the minimum notional to zero to inspect every valid returned execution, or increase it to focus on larger prints. Buy share is buy-taker notional divided by total notional among the filtered executions. It is volume-weighted; a few large trades can dominate the percentage.
The endpoint supplies a recent capped set, not a complete fixed-duration history. This manual snapshot therefore cannot establish hourly flow, market-wide demand or a continuous buy/sell imbalance. If the most recent trade is unexpectedly old, the screen reports that limitation instead of presenting the tape as a current stream.
Cumulative delta has a defined starting point
Signed BTC delta subtracts sell-taker BTC quantity from buy-taker BTC quantity. Signed quote delta performs the same subtraction after multiplying each execution by its price. These two measures can disagree in sign because trades occur at different prices. The chronological table shows each timestamp group and its cumulative totals.
The sum starts at zero before the earliest filtered returned execution. Executions sharing one millisecond are grouped so no sub-millisecond order is invented. The result resets on each load and is not complete-market CVD, a full session record or a continuous feed. Older executions omitted by the provider are not reconstructed.
Executed volume by price is different from the order book
The volume profile divides the observed execution-price range into your chosen number of equal-width bins. Buy-taker and sell-taker BTC quantities are plotted separately on a common scale. The accompanying table includes exact bin boundaries, quote notional and trade counts. A single observed price produces one bin.
These bars describe completed executions inside the filtered returned window. They do not represent resting bids or asks, open interest, liquidation levels or guaranteed future support. Change the size filter or bucket count to inspect the same type of evidence at a different resolution, while keeping the limited sample in view.
